Answer 1

Yes special ed is in high demand at all levels.  If you want to teach math specifically I would get a special ed and math degree.  Having dual certification will make you a better candidate and will also give you flexibility if you choose you do not like one of the areas.  It make take an extra year in college, but will be worth it if you don't have to go back later.

Answer 2

Answer 3
