A Q on horizontal turns

Not having been in an aircraft boat-turn before, I find your example a
wee addling. The kids would get hurled across the seats because the
station wagon is trying to turn horizontally about its axis while being
restricted in its lateral movement by the tires that are grounded. In
an aircraft, there's just thin air outside, so I'd presume it'll mildly
keep sliding sidewards too (in the opposite direction) while turning
about its axis.

It's a little of both. It won't be as bad as the aforementioned station
wagon, because the rudder isn't capable of producing as much of a turn. In
fact, this is why it's so important to use aileron to bank the plane too for
a turn. But a turn does still happen to a lesser degree, and the passengers
would still feel the apparent force pushing them to the outside of the turn.
