Answer 1

With ansible 2.7 you can do this:

$ cd /path/to/ansible/
$ ansible localhost -m include_role -a name=
localhost | SUCCESS => {
    "changed": false,
    "include_variables": {
        "name": ""
    }
}
localhost | SUCCESS => {
    "msg": ""
}

This will run role from /path/to/ansible/roles or configured role path.
