Answer 1

The bitcore library explicitly tells you to install globally:
Spin up a full node and join the network:
npm install -g bitcore
bitcored
Note the -g flag in the command. Currently, you're running npm install bitcore, which fails because you're trying to install locally without a package.json file. If you're not installing with -g, you must run npm init first before installing anything. In this case, you are installing with -g, so just follow the docs step by step, copying exactly what they tell you.
