Mistakes in the visa application form can lead to problems in visa processing. If you spot the error before the visa appointment, then you have a chance to fill a new form, whereas after the appointment, you need to inform the centre about the mistake. The rest depends on the decision of the authorities. 

No. If you are traveling to another Schengen country via Malta (a Schengen country), this shows that you are within the Schengen area, so you will require a short-stay (Type C) Schengen visa, not a transit visa.
