Can I use drywall screws with plastic contraption 3/8" diameter to put a TV on the drywall?
What is the load limit for 1 inch drywall and how many screws and how close apart they can be put to carry 60..65 lbs TV ?

Never mount a TV to drywall. Find some studs and mount it there.

I have a 50" plasma mounted on no studs. I used 10 toggle bolts and it is rock solid. I would not do this with an arm mount though, just a flat mount.

Mollys and toggles are perfectly suitable for this use. 60 pounds is well within the rating of a single fastener and you should use at least four. I am not sure what those experts in other answer comments are talking about.
Down vote away boys.
