Not really, it means Little Augustus.

Yes. It was a nickname, like "johnson" or "dick".

You have something vaguely resembling evidence for that? Throughout their history, the Romans revered Augustus, which is more or less what the name/title means. I find it highly unlikly they’d use it to mean “penis.”

But willing to accept evidence.
