GeneralQuestions on Midi Pin

So my son is learning the piano and for that purpose we have an electric piano (Roland FP-30).
And when we bought this piano the sole purpose was to properly learn to play a piano, so it has 88 fully weighted keys, an earphone connector (that was on my personal list of demands) and very little else.

But it apparently has Midi. So now my son wants a soundbox of some kind to play around with. It could be a nice Christmas present I suppose, if not overly expensive.

This isn't the type of Midi with a five pin DIN-connector that existed when I was younger. No it's USB type B or even Bluetooth.
I don't have a clue where to start looking, but I know we have some musicians on the forum, so I though I can pop some questions here and at least get a few pointers in the right direction.

What would a reasonable setup be?
Is Bluetooth really useful for this purpose?
Is it possible to route the sound back to the piano so I don't have to buy an amplifier or connect it to the stereo?
Maybe I should look for some software and connect a laptop instead?
