A dog cannot have pink on its nose to enter a conformation event, unless the breed standard permits it. In most breeds, a pink nose would be a fault. If the pink nose is accompanied by poor pigment (like a Dudley Lab) that would be a disqualification.
Agility is all about competition. It's not conformation, it has nothing to do with how well your dog matches its breed standard, it has EVERYthing to do with how competitive you and your dog are.
I've seen some poor dogs, conformation-wise, that could never go beyond class in conformation, excel in agility.
You're fine.

As far as I know, the only places that ban a dog because of a flaw like that is an actual dog show.
Agility usually accepts all kinds of dogs, even mutts, so I don't think they will have a problem with it.

No any dog can enter agility. Showing is a differnt story, a pink nose would be a breed flaw and wouldnt be allowed to show. but offcourse it can join agility.

Any AKC registered dog can enter agility, even if it would be disqualified in the show ring. :-)

No.
It can be a fault in the confirmation ring, but for agility it doesn't matter.
