Answer 1

It looks like your theme uses the method escapeHtmlAttr which introduced in magento 2.2 version. https://github.com/magento/magento2/commit/72b192e88250476749b1ab700c19ed0869d3f732#diff-0e10c44d6b0961dcab05891b110d0305R892

So you can try:

• use theme compatible with magento 2.1
• use latest version of magento
