Answer 1

Your installation is missing some php modules, there should be a list of required modules in the phpmyadmin readme. If you recently enabled the modules, try restarting the apache service / daemon.

Edit: As it seems, there is no single "enable these modules" in the docs, so enable either mysql or mysqli in your php.ini (you might need to install it first).

The two messages are not important if you do not intend to upload or download compressed file within phpMyAdmin. If you do, enable the zlib and / or bz2 modules.
