Answer 1

Answer is in probably your post:
Message: 'chromedriver.exe' executable needs to be in PATH
So please try adding chromedriver.exe to your system variable PATH.
For Windows, open System Properties - Environment Variables - and modify System variable "PATH": click Edit, add new entry with path to chromedriver.exe, for example: C:\drivers\chromedriver.exe
