Could newlib/libc/sys/linux/getopt1.c (getopt_long) be moved to
newlib/libc/stdlib/getopt1.c?

Unfortunately, no. getopt1.c is taken directly from glibc and is under the LGPL license so it doesn't go into the shared newlib code.

Likewise, could newlib/libc/sys/linux/getopt.c and
newlib/libc/stdlib/getopt.c be merged and
newlib/libc/sys/linux/getopt.c removed?

Again, no, this cannot be done for the same reason as above. If you want to contribute a BSD-style licensed version of the functions, it would be welcomed.
