If I look at a channel in amboss (e.g. https://amboss.space/edge/834469951915294720 ) is `peer 1` always the peer that opened the channel (and therefore will pay the close cost)?

No, there’s no public way to know who opened the channel, modulo chainanalysis kinda digging. At the protocol level peer 1 is just the β€œlower” public key.
