Answer 1

can you try this:

mongod --directoryperdb --dbpath "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\data\db" --logpath "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\log\mongo.log" --logappend --rest --install

The error can be because of the space between "Program Files".

For the second error, it is because MongoDB is not installed as a service. You can check you this answer to see how to setup mongo as a service.
