Answer 1

Interesting how powerful yet how helpless PS can be in the same time, coming from a Nix learning PS. after install crgwin/gitbash, you can do any combination in one commands:

size of current folder: du -sk .

size of all files and folders under current directory du -sk *

size of all subfolders (including current folders) find ./ -type d -exec du -sk {} \;
