Answer 1

Your Lambda does not have privileges (S3:GetObject).

Go to IAM dashboard, check the role associated with your Lambda execution. If you use AWS wizard, it automatically creates a role called oneClick_lambda_s3_exec_role. Click on Show Policy. It should show something similar to the attached image. Make sure S3:GetObject is listed.
