No.
The likely story to insure no one knew of the pregnancy is she died of complications on the asteroid that Obi Wan brought her too, or perhaps elsewhere. Mustfar was likely told as a tale where the heroic last Jedi who stood with Palpatine, defeated the leaders of the Seperatists, and was killed by a rogue Jedi.
Vader came about later as another supporter of Palpatine's, given that even Bail didn't know of who he was and was able to piece the truth because of Obi Wan.

No, I believe one of the Visual Dictionaries states that officially she was reported killed during the failed attempt by the Jedi to seize control of the Senate.
Unfortunately, I don't have my visual dictionaries at the moment, so I cant verify.

Wookiepedia entry on PAdme Amidala, specific source not cited:
Amidala's family and Queen Apailana were informed by Imperial Intelligence that she was killed along with other Senators by rogue Jedi on Coruscant.
EDIT:
The RoTS Visual Dictionary/Complete Visual Dictionary confirms this. (p. 157 of complete Visual Dictionary)
