Answer 1

There is an issue with RTM when using the OAUTH tokens with the version of slackclient you are using. I suggest trying to revert back to the legacy token that can be found here. For more on this issue i suggest you look at the github issue

Answer 2

It might be related to the Slack App. RTM isn't supported for the new Slack App granular scopes (see python client issue #584 and node client issue #921). If you want to use RTM, you can create a classic slack app with the OAuth Scope bot. Note that a similar question has been asked before.
