My mother is a descendant of the Noble Prophet (s.), am I also considered as a sayyid? Can I consider the blood I see until the age of sixty as menses and abstain from praying and fasting during it?

To determine the age of menopause is a matter of caution and contemplation. As far as this issue is concerned, women may refer to another mujtahid who enjoys all requirements.
