The pearls aren't in the Sea of Monsters. They are in the first book.
Sea urchins do not produce pearls in the same way that oysters do. While oysters create pearls from irritants by secreting layers of nacre, sea urchins have a different defense mechanism. They can form structures called "urchin pearls," which are calcified deposits, but these are not true pearls and are generally not valued like those from mollusks. Instead, sea urchin pearls are often irregular and not sought after in jewelry.
The places to purchase South Sea pearls online are many and varied. A good place to start would be Pearl Paradise, Raw Pearls, Premium Pearls and Pearl Gallery.

Fish and eels were eaten. Some hand painted books like the Book of Kells had sea creatures in the artwork of the book. Pieces of jewelry often featured a fish or another sea animals. ( The Pics saw a salmon as a fish of luck and knowledge)
Some sea creatures have ansetors of dinosaurs
If you mean, "are all under water creatures, sea creatures?" then no. The term SEA is for the ocean and there also can be creatures in freshwater. Also some creatures that live in water such as some snakes and sea turtles come out of the water every so often, so they are no total sea/water creatures. Fish are underwater creatures though.
