I wonder could I disconnect it if I attached one end of my compressor hose to a post and the other to my car and tried to break the connection. Would the hose break first - and is that the weakest link in the trailer connection system.

Is there a weight limit? Would it be considered safe for a child wagon - say, if something caused a strong force to separate it from the bike?

Just curious. Seems like a simple and elegant connection solution.
The connection is plenty strong, rated for probably at least 150 psi, and that is trying to blow it off the end of the hose. Sometimes you don't want a connection that is too strong, you want it to separate in a collision.
