Bash script - store stderr in a variable [duplicate]

Bash how do you capture stderr to a variable?
I would like to do something like this inside of my bash script
sh -c path/myExcecutable-bin 2>&1 =MYVARIABLE
How do you send stderror output to a variable ?
To save both stdout and stderr to a variable:
MYVARIABLE="$(path/myExcecutable-bin 2>&1)"
Note that this interleaves stdout and stderr into the same variable.
To save just stderr to a variable:
MYVARIABLE="$(path/myExcecutable-bin 2>&1 > /dev/null)"

Is there a way to redirect stderr to stdout, so that all stderr output is received in stdout, but without also redirecting to a file?
There are of course a number of ways of redirecting stderr to stdout and then outputting the combined stream to a file, but in this case I want all of the output to just come through stdout without any files being involved.
As I understand, you want to redirect stderr to stdout and print stdout to terminal?
If, so:
command 2>&1
where:
0 = stdin
1 = stdout
2 = stderr
2>&1 means: redirect stderr into stdout
you can also do:
2>filename

Is there an elegant way to both echo a command and save it to a file? The common use case is echo "test" >> someappendedfile.txt, in which case the command does not appear in bin/bash. By definition, >> is a re-direction, so doing both seems like a weird command.
I would like the result of something like echo "test" >> someappendedfile.txt to both log to stdout and the appending file.
Is there an alternative operator or utility that does what I am asking?

How to combine these two commands?
./script.sh > logfile.log
and
./script.sh 2> logfile.log
Thank you!
In bash, to redirect both standard output and standard error to the same file, you can write
./script.sh &> logfile.log
If you want to be compatible with other shells,
./script.sh > logfile.log 2>&1

I've seen things like
command > out.txt
Sometimes appended with
2&1
But these seem to divert all output or all error streams instead of both displaying and copying the output into the file, which is what I'm trying to do. Do I have any options?
If you can have stdout and stderr into the file
command 2>&1 | tee -a log
Else you swap stdout and stderr using 3
{ command | tee stdout.log; } 3>&1 1>&2 2>&3 | tee stderr.log
