Answer 1

In the slave machine try install the slave service with the jenkins user. You can install a slave service in windows machine (master can be in linux) check the slave folder configured in slave configuration (folder created in slave machine(windows)). if not create the folder in slave machine and verify jenkins-slave.exe is available in the folder.
