Answer 1

I'm not sure its possible to use STDIN with child_process.execFile() based on these docs and the below excerpt, looks like its available only to child_process.spawn()

The child_process.execFile() function is similar to child_process.exec() except that it does not spawn a shell. Rather, the specified executable file is spawned directly as a new process making it slightly more efficient than child_process.exec().
