No, cause Jesus never claimed equality with God. He was God's chosen one for mankind's redemption. God is the supreme judge and couldn't sacrifice himself.Also read Hebrews 3 verse 2 " He was faithful to the One that made him such, as Moses was also. Constantine oversaw the council( and we know religion and politics just don't mix ) and then they had a vote. Christ's followers shouldn't have had to vote on whether he was part of the trinity or not, they should've already known the answer.
Psalms 83; 18 That people may know , that you, whose name is Jehovah (JHVH or YHWH) , you alone are the most high over all the earth.

Sorry. I just don't understand your question. The Nicean Creed comes to us from the Council of Nicea. Where Constantine first gathered all the Catholic bishops together to make Christianity legal. Many of them thought it was a trap. Many carried fresh scars from the Roman persecution when they went.
So they got together to talk over the Arian Heresy. That was a fellow saying Jesus was not divine. So they gathered together for the first time and pooled their thoughts on what Christianity was.
The official bible didn't come into being until some 40 years later at the Council of Hippo, when they all got together to see what scrolls they had.

The Nicene Creed was not just some guys that decided to make a creed but was the church stating what it already believed against a heresy that had come up especially Arianism. The church has often had to make statements in response to false teachings and usually they had to affirm the truth of the Trinity and the person of Christ being true man and true God. These statements or affirmations sometimes became a creed or confession of what the church believes.

The Nicene Creed appears to correctly state the Christian faith. I am not knowledgeable enough to distinguish between the different versions (for example, the Creeds of 325 and 381). In any event, personally, the Bible is my ultimate reference of faith.

The Nicene Creed isn't based on the Bible. It's based on the beliefs of the Catholic Church, of which many, but not all, may be found in scripture.
And yes, it is correct.

No, I believe that the gnostic gospels of Mary Magdalene, and Judas. Both had important roles, and should not have been overlooked.
