No, devils evolve when the archdevil they serve grants them a promotion. They are not living creatures in the sense as mortal men. Neither are mephits for that matter.

If the Ice Devil makes a deal, it will have to produce the spear. Their lawful evil nature will prevent them from being able to renig on a deal.

Depends on the wording of the agreement. Being crafty negotiators, one can imagine a situation where the fine print always put the ice devil at an advantage. *cue fast-talking disclaimer guy at the end of a commercial*
You're a devil. It's time to make a deal with someone.
Probably those humans, since they seem to be able to come and go as they please. They are champions of Law, you are a being of Law and Evil.
Play up the Law, downplay the Evil, and find something you can offer them or promise them in return for a) not killing you and b) helping you get free.
You can always figure out how to twist the deal in your favor later.

What I hate about 5th is that they neutered a lot of monster's abilities. All Devils should have teleport. All of the greater devils should have shapechange. Put fiends used to be able to cast wish once a year to a mortal it wanted to make a deal with. You should give any major villain other abilities that are appropriate for your character to function.
Let's look for a second at what an ice devil is. It is a major devil second only in power and rank to the pit fiend. They are created only in the 8th layer of Hell, and are exclusively stationed in the 5th and 8th layers. Which means, they can only meet final death in those layers. They are commanders of armies that have fought in countless battles as they moved up in rank. Compared to a human, an ice devil would be a military genius. Even if something had the ability to drain its power, it would use the mortals in the area to create an army and crush any foe that came near it. Most likely from one of the monster tribes orcs, or goblins, more than likely goblins since hobgoblins already have a military structured society. Or they would take over a human nation to do it by installing themselves into an important position of power. Devils can summon other devils, they can't summon mephits which are elementals. Ice devils are powerful enough to become warlock patrons, so they will be able to create and use them to their ends. If this is a doomed world then the ice devil would probably attempt to find a means to escape, and take as many souls with them.

I was wondering. There were some...awkward images floating in my head.
