Not at all. On the contrary, this verse is very clear that the person who was with the Prophet in the cave, was not a believer because he was not entitled to receive the Calmness from Allah. Allah sent His Calmness on the Prophet only and never in that companion فأنزل الله سكينته عليه وأيّدَهٌ بجنود لم تروها.

'There is a discussion among the scholars about the name of the person who was with the Prophet in the cave, but whosoever he was, he was not entitled for receiving the peace from Allah, which is received by the believers (Sura 48, verse 4). (It is He who sent down calmness in the hearts of the believers).

'Even Ayesha, daughter of Abu Bakr denied any verse in Quran regarding her and her father but only in the allegation of Al-Ifk. Bukhari, V. 6. Page 42. If the verse 40 in Sura Tauba was mentioning her father, she should known that.

It is permissible and recommended to say Bismillah on starting any important act including Quran recitation, but you should not say it as a verse when you recite Sura Tawbah because it has no Bismillah Arrahman Arraheem.

It was to counter the attack and plans of the enemies of Islam and Muslims. Islam orders Muslims to fight against the enemies who plan and try to attack Muslims, but to be peaceful with those who do not attack Muslims (Allah does not forbid you to deal nicely and kindly with those (Non Muslims) who fought not against you on account of religion nor drove you out of your homes (Sura 60, Verse 8).
