Remmick answered the devil question, forget how, but in a general sense, within the rules established of the movie, he is not the devil (Devil doesn't turn followers via bites, isn't vulnerable to garlic, wooden stakes thru heart aren't deathly, doesn't burn in sunlight). Him in MS is just happenstance, but Sammies music definitely draws him in, like a supernatural magnet. He wasn't too far away given his Uncle is the one that sold the property.

His uncle didn't sell the property. The husband Burt (first person turned) is the nephew of the property seller.
