Shouldn't it be "Nyarlko-san"?

It's officially "Nyaruko". Given it's a katakana/kanji combination and a nickname, I'd lean towards it even if we didn't take the official name into consideration.

Shouldn't Cthugha_(nyaruko-san) be Cthuko_(nyaruko-san) instead? When first meeting her, Nyaruko mentions that Cthuga is the race and Cthuko is the name of the individual in question.

Well, it's the same thing for both Nyarlathotep and Hastur. They're both the name of characters (nicknamed "Nyaruko" and "Hasuta") and the name of races in-series. I think we should just default to the character in this case. Other characters of the same race (which are rare in images anyway) will have their particular name so it's not a big deal in my mind.
