The sub function replaces only the field and preserves the field separators, $1="" or $1=x doesn't.
Yes. If there is a chance that the first field could contain any characters that are special in an extended regular expression, you would need to not only change: sub($1,x) to: $1=x, but also to change the last line to:
or add a BEGIN clause to set OFS.
As long as the 1st field is always just numeric characters, your code is perfectly safe.

ausearch_add_regex
AUSEARCH_ADD_REGEX(3) Linux Audit API AUSEARCH_ADD_REGEX(3)NAME
ausearch_add_regex - use regular expression search rule
SYNOPSIS
#include <auparse.h>
int ausearch_add_regex(auparse_state_t *au, const char *expr);
DESCRIPTION
ausearch_add_regex adds one search condition based on a regular expression to the current audit search expression. The search conditions
can then be used to scan logs, files, or buffers for something of interest. The regular expression follows the posix extended regular
expression conventions, and is matched against the full record (without interpreting field values).
If an existing search expression E is already defined, this function replaces it by (E && this_regexp).
RETURN VALUE
Returns -1 if an error occurs; otherwise, 0 for success.
SEE ALSO ausearch_add_expression(3), ausearch_add_item(3), ausearch_clear(3), ausearch_next_event(3), regcomp(3).
