VW consider 1 litre per 1600km acceptable oil useage, so you are above that. Although the oil consumption does suggest a bigger problem I wouldn’t let it spoil your trip, just keep checking the level daily. Don’t let it get so low that the oil light comes on.
I guess if you’re getting through oil at a fair rate then buy the cheapest 5w 30 you can find as long as it conforms to the 507 vw spec.
That creamy residue is normal for vans that have done short journeys. Wipe it off and see if it comes back. It’s not as much as it looks as there is a plastic ridge just inside the filler pipe.
