Answer 1

I am not sure, but did you tried SQLCMD -m switch? sqlcmd Utility

-m error_level - Controls which error messages are sent to stdout. Messages that have a severity level greater than or equal to this level are sent. When this value is set to -1, all messages including informational messages, are sent. Spaces are not allowed between the -m and -1. For example, -m-1 is valid, and -m -1 is not.
