Answer 1

The issue is that you are string to pass an STL string to chdir(). chdir() requires a C Style string, which is just an array of characters terminated with a NUL byte.

What you need to be doing is chdir(sDirectory.c_str()) which will convert it to a C Style string. And also the int on int chdir(sDirectory); isn't necessary.
