Not only will you get microreflections from unterminated cable, it'll also act as an aerial to soak up RF noise from the surroundings, so yes, a terminator to both keep the port / cable RF sealed and soak up signal to prevent reflection is highly, highly advisable.

Does i mean that 2400Mhz splitter is a better spec. than the 1000Mhz one.
How can i close off the unused ports?
Btw, are there any 1 to 3 splitters I can buy in the market?

No, it just means it can carry a wider bandwidth, doesn't mean anything really for the range VM carry and it could actually be poorer at the job, depending on its' construction.
Close off ports with a terminator as above.
A 3 way splitter is indeed available but do bear in mind that all it is is a 2 way splitter with 1 port split again, so 1 port will have 3.5dB loss while the other 2 will lose 7dB. (Signal strength halved = 3dB + additional 0.5dB insertion loss)
