In my system both mkfs.vfat and mkfs.msdos are symbolic links to mkdosfs. So I believe they do the same.
-n is the parameter for the volume name which is not very important, just for your legibility.

I don't understand
Do you mean there is no partition marked as type c (VFAT 32)? That would be a problem 
Or that there is such a partition but it does not contain a filesystem. That's ok 
mkfs.vfat task is to create the filesystem.
