Alexa works on old cloud, you need to install Alexa app on LM and login and sync inside the app.

You didn't create any device in the Alexa app. You must add device then add skills to the device and map objects in the skill.

This is another problem which we need to solve but lets focus first why Alexa is not allowing you create more devices, there is no limit. Press F12 while you in alexa app and check if you see any errors in browser console.
Are you in a office or home with normal router?

In normal environment (home) there is no need to open any ports. Current implementation is using outgoing port 1883. In some time from now we are going to move alexa on to new cloud and then port will be 8883. Managed switches usually block this and this is why you have this MQTT error. This is still not answering why you can't add more devices.

Yes this loos good, make sure to sync each time you make a change and ask Alexa to discover.
