Answer 1

This can be achieve using Xposed framework. You need add the code and install the App. The phone needs to be rooted in order for it to work. I have tested it on multiple Samsung phones and it works. Check this answer for details: How to auto-accept Wi-Fi Direct connection requests in Android

Answer 2

You could indeed simply use the createGroup function from the API to create a group, which also makes the access point. The first problem here is that the access point name & password are set automatically, and you can not change them.

So, you do need to pass the info to the connecting party, and for this, I would suggest using the local service advertising, and using the instance name there.

Did make simple test app for this and you can find it from Github under DrJukka/MyWifiMesh, also some discussions on the topic can be found from my blog
