You appear to have forgotten the part of the Compile Guide that says:

"In the directory where you extracted the Warzone 2100 sources to, copy makerules\config.mk.tmpl to makerules\config.mk and open the new file for editing (notepad will do just fine)."

how do you read this...

i understood it as you copy the text in the .tmpl file and paste it in the .mk file

It means when you are finished you should have a new file in the makerules folder called config.mk .

that shouldn't have been there to begin with?

No, you have to make it yourself.

No, because you most likely need to edit the contents to match your system.
Read the entire sentence of the instructions:
Copy “config.mk.tmpl” to “config.mk” and change the settings and paths according to your needs
