No. Apollo 1 was a mission that failed before it even began. The spacecraft and her crew were destroyed by fire while on the launchpad weeks before the vehicle was scheduled for launch.

No, Apollo 1 was not the first Apollo mission. The first manned Apollo mission was Apollo 7, which launched on October 11, 1968. Apollo 1 was initially designated AS-204 and was scheduled to be the first manned mission, but a cabin fire during a pre-launch test on January 27, 1967, resulted in the loss of the crew.
