No, that tells it to use tty1 which doesn't exist, hence it exits with an
error, but it's set to respawn so init restarts it. Since init isn't
stupid, it gives up after a bit and generates the message seen in your
logs. Simply removing or commenting the entry that refers to the
nonexistent node should stop the message appearing.

yes it does.

depends how and where udev is started.. I'm surprised it's not done for
you already. Either add it to whichever script starts udev, or create your
own and ensure it runs before the one that starts udev.
That's not your problem though - you get other nodes such as ttyAM0. The
part you need to sort out is creating and mounting /dev/pts before sshd
and/or telnet start.
