No, it's 100k of each of the three resources, and 100k research points. The latter also have to be spent on the first turn, or they're all lost.

Suggestion for SE V: have separate settings for starting resources and research points.

You cannot start Intelligence Projects until you meet another empire, no matter how many you generate.

You DO get bonus Intel points on your first turn. But Unless another empire starts in-system with you, you can't use them. As was pointed out, you must be in contact with another race to run any intel project. That includes counter-intel.
