Yes - the "measure age" or "age at measurement" is just the age a child has (if it is alive) or would have had (if it died already) at the time of the survey.

As for the problem with "_b[u1mort]" - it should be there if you included it in your regression. I would look at the results of the regression in Stata directly and see if the u1mort is getting dropped from the regressions for some reason. If it is actually being estimated, then you probably have a typo in your code with the "_b[]" command. If it is being dropped, there is something wrong with either your identifying of death properly (you could just summarize your "child is dead" variable to check) or with your regression specification (co-linear dummy variables or something maybe?).
