No.

Also, is it the umpires job to prevent an illegal substitute or player batting out of order from entering or is this the coaches job?

On illegal substitutions, it's good preventive officiating. Time is out when the sub is made, so it can be checked.
Note that illegal subs may be detected by "an umpire or either team", while BOO may only be detected by "either team" (and defense only after the at bat is over).
