I was born in Pittsburgh, I have an expired USA passort and a valid British Passport. Do I need an ESTA to travel to USA?

I have two children with the same surname from my first marriage that are travelling with myself and my second wife (all British citizens with British passports). How do I apply for ESTAs for my two children and what do I need from their birth mother to allow them to tavel with me other than their British passports?

Short answer,

You need to renew the passport. You are not eligible for ESTA as you have an US passport.

However, if you present with an expired US passport upon arrival, border agents cannot deny your entry to USA, as you are a citizen. One possible way to think of is to fly to canada and enter via land border. Airlines won't allow you to board with an expired passport, not with British passport without ESTA.

Note: Best possible way is to get an emergency passport, if you can't wait to renew passport via embassy.
