Answer 1

You have to use $arrayToObject if you want to build your keys dynamically. It takes an array of k and v fields as a parameter. To make it root you can use $replaceRoot stage, try:

db.col.aggregate([
    {
        $replaceRoot: {
            newRoot: { $arrayToObject: [ [ { k: "$code", v: "$item" } ] ]}
        }
    }
])

I don't think thats possible. Mongo leaves the interpretation of the result to the application. Thats why mongodb is a shema-less database.
