pseudo devices emulate other physical devices. In this case 'pts'
devices are described in the pts man page. They pretend to be a real
terminal connection and are used by telnet/rsh/ssh style programs that
connect to a 'terminal'.

Yes. /bin/login will usually chown the device to the user at login
time. If another user logs in, it should change to that user.
The 'grantpt' man page describes the process somewhat
