I always just assumed that Beorn along with his sons and the rest of the Beornings were the third age remmnants and decendants of the House of Beor. Obviosly Beorn isnt a dircet decendent of Beren, but there were probably other members of the House. Also my Silmarillion momory is a bit rusty but wasnth there a bit about all of Beren's folk having the skin chaging ability, with Beren just been better at it?

Was that power Beren's? I can only recall two instances of his form changing. By Felegund's arts they both took on the appearance of orcs, and with Lúthien's power he took of shape of the wolf Draugluin.

I don't believe there is any indication that the Beornings were descendants of Beor, although the names are similar.
