"Etc" will usually come at the end of a list, so no. I believe that it is optional to put a period after it if it is not at the end of a sentence.

How would you see if a sentence had a comma splice?

If a sentence consists of two independent clauses with a comma between them, it is a comma splice. That is, the part before the comma can stand on its own as a sentence, and the part after the comma can also stand on its own as a sentence, then it is a comma splice. If there is no punctuation there instead of a comma, it is known as a run-on sentence.

Do you need a comma befort etc?

Not necessarily. There is no word or phrase in English that requires a comma. More importantly, however, avoid contractions and abbreviations in formal writing. Instead, use " and so forth," or " and the rest."Typically, the abbreviation etc. is used to denote the continuation of a series. As the elements of a series are separated by commas, then yes, a comma is called for in front of etc. For example, in the sentence below:I like all sorts of fruit: blueberries, strawberries, watermelon, etc.
