Answer 1

The error is saying that sh.exe (the shell) can't find a command matching mktemp, which means it's not present in GitBash, at least not in your environment.

One option is you could download a Windows version of mktemp, such as http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/mktemp.htm and then place it in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin directory. The shell should then be able to match the mktemp command and be able to proceed.
