Answer 1

You can view supported distros to build Chromium in src/build/install-build-deps.sh, as for now it can run on the following distros:

• Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (trusty with EoL April 2022)
• Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (xenial with EoL April 2024)
• Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (bionic with EoL April 2028)
• Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (focal with Eol April 2030)
• Ubuntu 19.04 (disco)
• Ubuntu 19.10 (eoan)
• Debian 8 (jessie) or later

You are trying to build Chromium for Android using Windows, which is not supported at all . Even macOS is not supported for building Chromium for Android. You should try to build it from Linux, more specifically Ubuntu to build it.
