Eamon De Valera opposed the Anglo-Irish Treaty because he believed it compromised Ireland's sovereignty by establishing the Irish Free State as a dominion within the British Empire, rather than achieving full independence. He was particularly concerned about the provision for an oath of allegiance to the British Crown, which he felt undermined the republican ideals for which many had fought during the War of Independence. De Valera also feared that the treaty would perpetuate divisions within Irish society and politics, leading to further conflict. Ultimately, he sought a more comprehensive and unilateral declaration of Irish independence.
No. Other leaders of the 1916 Rising were executed, but he was not. That was because he was born in New York and was a US citizen, and as Britain wanted support of the US in World War I, they did not want to do anything that would affect that. He died in 1975.

What would be called a Prime Minister in other countries is known as a Taoiseach in Ireland. Before 1938, the term used was President of the Executive Council. The first person to hold that title was William T. Cosgrave, who held it from October 1922 to March 1932. When the term Taoiseach was first used, Eamon DeValera was the person to first hold it.
