I'm not sure what you mean by "view." Devices exist as file nodes to facilitate block operations on them. The data on them is likely still in a binary, and thus non-readable, format. The device nodes are all located under /dev.
There are also character devices, which input in characters (maybe not human readable). If you want to view the device as it updates, use "tail -f".

There is no "last file" to Linux, as 1.) there is no specification as to what files need to be present in a Linux system, other than the kernel, 2.) you would have to define whether "last" meant the last file placed on the disk, or the last file in alphabetical order, and 3.) the system may use an initial ram disk, which has additional files in a compressed form, and will create device nodes upon boot.
What do you mean when you say Linux is an operating system kernel?
It means that Linux is a kernel for Linux-based operating systems. In the strictest sense, Linux itself is only the kernel, however I tend to view it as a full operating system core due to how most kernel spece works (Which tends to include not just the kernel, but most device drivers.).
