[TYPO3] relative path mistaken

No of course. When you type "/something" in a href or in a CSS with 
url(), it "replaces" all what is after the *first* / (not counting the 
protocol itself). Thus if your URL starts with 
http://dev.myurl.com/anything/you-have/here, it will search for 
http://dev.myurl.com/fileadmin/...

The same with a domain http://whatyouwant.dev.something.other.myurl.com 
as long as it is placed before the /, that is as long as it is 
DNS-related stuff, not web server-related.
