1. You can apply to any uk university if you wish but not compulsory now. However, if u win the scholarship u must apply to schools on your own.
So apply now. UK university application is easy and free.

2. No. You dont need IELTS. WAEC or NECO C6 is enough.

PTDF don't require IELTS, but the school you are applying to may require ielts
