A creature that was put onto the battlefield attacking didn’t attack, so it can’t be sacrificed.

Whether you control an appropriate planeswalker is checked only as the spell resolves.

Controlling more than one planeswalker of the appropriate type won’t have any more of a benefit than just controlling one.
