But i haven't support for them and i'm not answering. Is this correct?
No, that is not correct. You should send a NACK response with a reason code of UNSUPPORTED_COMMAND_CLASS

I'm not sure how to understand DMX512 Footprint (of 0) - what this field mean?
You are correct, if your device does not use any Null Startcode DMX data, then you send the DMX512 Footprint to 0, and the DMX512 Start Address to 0xFFFF in the DEVICE_INFO response.

You do not have to support the DMX_START_ADDRESS PID.

Is this enough for the controller to understand what i'm? Because E120_PROXIED_DEVICES and E120_PROXIED_DEVICE_COUNT are never reached in my code - no request about them
Not all controllers support the E120_PROXIED_DEVICES feature. Some controllers use these PIDs, but they are not required too.

You must also respond to DISCOVER_UNIQUE_BRANCH requests on behalf of your proxied devices, so a controller that doesn't support the E120_PROXIED_DEVICES PIDs will find the devices on the far side of your proxy that way.

That is fine.
