Looks ok.  busybox I assume.  You might try:

ttl0::respawn:/sbin/getty 9600 ttl0

You could try just launching a shell on the console.  Then you can
look around and see what's there:

::respace:/bin/sh

Ugh.  You should turn off devfs and build a static /dev folder for the
time being.  Otherwise you've got no idea if devfs is putting the
right things into /dev.  If you *really* want to, you can go back to
devfs later (but I don't recommend it).

I think so

I don't know; read the source.  Look for where it registers with devfs
to get the expected name.  Does the uartlite driver you're using even
support devfs?

I don't know; it should be easy to find in the driver source
