Answer 1

The development script in your package.json is attempting to load the webpack config from laravel-mix and you don't have it installed
"development": "cross-env NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --progress --hide-modules
--config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js",
Just install laravel-mix or create your own webpack config
npm i laravel-mix
And make sure that you have webpack.mix.js on the root directory if you decide to use the mix wrapper
const mix = require('laravel-mix');
mix.js('resources/js/app.js', 'public/js')
.sass('resources/sass/app.scss', 'public/css');
