Hello
I would suggest not to apply port security to switchport interconnects as these are usually trunk ports which will have numerous learned mac- addressing , Port security is applicable to edge ports (access-ports)

yes correct, you need to increase the count from 3 to 4 (if you looking to have 3 host in the switch) ,
