I've noticed two IPs for br0:0 in node1 but no for br0 - is this correct?

This is wrong. batman-adv doesn't need a network which is setup in adhoc mode. 
It only needs a layer which has roughly the characteristics of ethernet (frame 
header, broadcast/multicast addresses, ...).

If you want some kind of encryption in adhoc mode as part of the wifi layer 
then please try WPA_NONE or similar protocols. Authorisation, authentication 
and encryption in higher layers are still highly recommended.
