Yes, you are correct.
For your younger dependent, although he is not required to file a tax return, he can file to get a refund of income taxes withheld on his W-2. Social security and Medicare taxes are not refundable.
Please note that they have to indicate on their returns that they can be claimed as a dependent by another taxpayer.
