If the spell you cast that caused Kellan, the Kid's last ability to trigger is represented by a split card, the characteristics of the half you didn't cast are ignored while that spell is on the stack.

If you cast a spell "without paying its mana cost," you can't choose to cast it for any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the spell has any mandatory additional costs, those must be paid to cast the spell.

Putting a land card onto the battlefield with Kellan's last ability doesn't count as playing a land. It can put a land card onto the battlefield even if you've already played your land for the turn.
