Answer 1

The error says it all: "Attempt to debit an account but found no record of a prior credit."

This means that you're trying to move SOL from an account with no SOL. If you're on devnet / testnet / localnet, you can airdrop SOL directly to the account with solana airdrop 1 <ACCOUNT_PUBKEY> .
