Is that electrons are formed by three ddd quarks plus gluons, because
somehow a neutral +1/3 e + (-1/3 e) is created from nowhere during the
decay process, so 1 proton + 1 electron can appear?

I dismissed neutrinos, but one electron neutrino split in two parts with
opposite charges +/- 1/3 and zero mass? The rest is derived from gluons.

So you managed to misunderstand even that.
Quarks an gluons don't come into it:
it is a purely weak process.
A down quark decays into an up quark,
with the emission of a (virtual W- boson)
The W- next decays into an electron and an antineutrino.
