Actually it should look like this (cars, airplanes, trains, etc.).
But if the sentence ends with an abbreviation, the single period will serve to end the sentence, as in cars, airplanes, trains, etc. You do not use double periods.
You can, however, use a question mark or exclamation point after a period that ends a sentence. Were you talking about cars, airplanes, trains, etc.?
If this looks unusual, it is because abbreviations, such as etc., are generally avoided at the ends of sentences.

Yes it is. The sentence "This will be an exciting month for me" is absolutely correct (it needs a period at the end, of course). But "a correct grammar" is not-- you want to ask whether it is "grammatically correct," or to be simpler, ask whether it is "good English."
