The child could be a half-celestial, or a more specialized 'half-azata' of the GM's design.
Aasimar are *generally* a bit further down the family tree than direct descendents of a celestial, although there's no hard and fast rule that says they *have to be.* Certainly, if the azata was possessing a human host, then only a tiny spark of 'azata-ness' might have passed on to the child (or even none at all), and it's entirely up to the needs of the story. It's also entirely possible that the celestial-ness of the azata parent didn't 'take' fully, due to a number of factors, ranging from fantasy genetics to the material plane being naturally resistant to outsider hereditary dominance, or some other hand-wave-y thing, resulting in a human/celestial child only being an aasimar, and not a full-blown half-celestial.
If your GM is okay with your aasimar having a full-on celestial for a parent, there's no rule forbidding it, although I'd be leery of expecting any sort of parental intervention because of that birth, just as I would if someone came up to me with a character whose father was the king of the starting nation, and then hoped for some sort of special advantages later, like free money or 'diplomatic immunity' or whatever.
Yea i would make an offspring of a angel/human 1/2 celestial and probably that individuals offspring aasimar.. So in your case i would have the angel be its grandparent, not parent..
DM discretion. Typically, yes, these are the circumstances for which the "half" templates exist for, but if your DM says you can be an aasimar with your outsider ancestor directly as your parent, knock yoself out.
Azata + Humanoid = Half-Celestial
Half-Celestial + Humanoid = Aasimar / Celestial Bloodline Humanoid
The second one is a coin toss. Not all children of half-celestials are born aasimars, IIRC.

as a matter of fact the correct answer would be half-celestial.
still, I think tieflings and aasimar described in blood of fiends/angels have racial abilities that are better suited to someone who is a more direct offspring of a specific celestial/fiend.
Half planar templates are too generalist for my taste.

The Paizo supplement Blood of Angels has alternate stats and fluff for Aasimar's with Azata heritage. However as has been mentioned if you were the direct child of a celestial and human you more likely be a half-celestial, but the blood of angels rules are better balanced for a PC so that is what I would recommend you use.
Aasimar blood does not need to be the result of a past mating. Being infused by celestial energy, perhaps by being present at a major event might be such a catalyst. In Golarion the birthrates of both Aasimar and tieflings shot up after Aroden's death.
This is true, but much less likely given the circumstances.
