Answer 1

Don't use .bodyParser() , it is being deprecated.

Use

app.use(express.json());
app.use(express.urlencoded());

Consider using alternatives: http://www.senchalabs.org/connect/multipart.html . Formidable is one of them.

You're already using formidable. Express is based on connect and the multipart middleware is based on formidable. Have a look at the express example to learn how to upload files.
