It occurs to me that you might do well with a simple seat on that rear rack, instead of a trailer. A couple with three young children in my circle have one on each of their bikes, and they go all over the place like that.
Regarding a single track trailer. Your wheels appear to be 20" which is typical for foldable bikes like that. My road bike wheels are 26-27" or so, and the single track connection clears it with ease. I'm sure, even with your rack, you'd have no trouble with a single track connection to the seat post. Main thing to think about would be when approaching a gradient change - assuming your seat tube is lower than mine - to go at it on an angle so the trailer doesn't bottom out. I've taken mine on some light trails and have never had a problem though.
I don't have any experience with hub drive bikes, but if you were to go with a chariot type trailer, the connection bracket could be installed on the spindle, might just need to make that smaller hole big enough to accommodate your axle.
This has been incredibly helpful, thank you. I might just get a seat on the rear rack for now until I can gauge how much she enjoys it, I didn't realize how comparably affordable they are.
Happy to help.
I should have mentioned a slightly different option of rack seating is basically to install a cushion, some rails, and running board to keep the little legs from flopping around.
The rails are kind of hard to search online for because they get called a lot of different things. I found this one by Surly, and this other one by Yuba.
That couple I mentioned before have a set of these on the one bike they take two of their children on. I don't think they have running boards on their bike, but I've seen other people use them and think they're a good idea. Here's a post I found from some guy that made his own for a few bucks.
Benefit of the rails over the specific child seat is the rails still help hold cargo for when you need it.
Keep in mind, this whole kid on a rack option will change your centre of gravity, and starting, stopping, and slow maneuvers in general will feel a bit different.
Hope it works out!
