Is there an uncredited cello on the outro of side 1 on Miles Davis Kind of Blue?

Do you mean around the 5.20 mark on the track Blue in Green? Sounds like Paul Chambers' double bass.

Yes. Unless you learn to play it by ear and pizzicato only, when you study the double bass you use a bow. If you study it.
