Answer 1

As your are using vtiger 6.4 , there are lot of difference between vTiger 6 and vtiger6.4.
Try with the below script as I am using same for new module creation. Use new module name. And change the UI Types and field labels as per your requirement.
<?php
$Vtiger_Utils_Log = true;
include_once('vtlib/Vtiger/Menu.php');
include_once('vtlib/Vtiger/Module.php');
$module = new Vtiger_Module();
$module->name = 'Your_MODULE_NAME';
$module->parent = 'Tools';
$module->save();
$module->initTables();
$module->initWebservice();
$block = new Vtiger_Block();
$block->label = 'LBL_INFORMATION_DETAIL';
$module->addBlock($block); //to create a new block
$field1 = new Vtiger_Field();
$field1->name = 'browse';
$field1->table=$module->basetable;
$field1->label= 'Upload Csv';
$field1->column = 'browse';
$field1->columntype = 'VARCHAR(255)';
$field1->uitype= 28;
$field1->typeofdata = 'V~O';
$block->addField($field1);
$field2 = new Vtiger_Field();
$field2->name = 'fieldid';
$field2->table=$module->basetable;
$field2->label= 'Record ID';
$field2->uitype= 4;
$field2->column = 'fieldid';
$field2->columntype = 'VARCHAR(255)';
$field2->typeofdata = 'V~M';
$block->addField($field2);
$module->setEntityIdentifier($field2);
$field3 = new Vtiger_Field();
$field3->name = 'age';
$field3->table=$module->basetable;
$field3->label= 'Age';
$field3->uitype= 1;
$field3->column = 'age';
$field3->columntype = 'VARCHAR(100)';
$field3->typeofdata = 'V~O';
$block->addField($field3);
$field4 = new Vtiger_Field();
$field4->name = 'statusrecord';
$field4->table=$module->basetable;
$field4->label= 'Status';
$field4->uitype= 15;
$field4->column = 'statusrecord';
$field4->columntype = 'VARCHAR(255)';
$field4->setPicklistValues( Array('new','closed','closedwithfailure','inprogress'));
$field4->typeofdata = 'V~M';
$block->addField($field4);
// Recommended common fields every Entity module should have (linked to core table)
$field5 = new Vtiger_Field();
$field5->name = 'assigned_user_id';
$field5->label = 'Assigned To';
$field5->table = 'Vtiger_crmentity';
$field5->column = 'smownerid';
$field5->uitype = 53;
$field5->typeofdata = 'V~M';
$block->addField($field5);
$field6 = new Vtiger_Field();
$field6->name = 'CreatedTime';
$field6->label= 'Created Time';
$field6->table = 'Vtiger_crmentity';
$field6->column = 'createdtime';
$field6->uitype = 70;
$field6->typeofdata = 'T~O';
$field6->displaytype= 2;
$block->addField($field6);
$field7 = new Vtiger_Field();
$field7->name = 'ModifiedTime';
$field7->label= 'Modified Time';
$field7->table = 'Vtiger_crmentity';
$field7->column = 'modifiedtime';
$field7->uitype = 70;
$field7->typeofdata = 'T~O';
$field7->displaytype= 2;
$block->addField($field7);
// Filter Setup
$filter1 = new Vtiger_Filter();
$filter1->name = 'All';
$filter1->isdefault = true;
$module->addFilter($filter1);
// Add fields to the filter create
$filter1->addField($field7, 2);
$filter1->addField($field3, 3);
$filter1->addField($field4, 5);
/** Set sharing access of this module */
$module->setDefaultSharing();
/** Enable and Disable available tools */
$module->enableTools(Array('Import', 'Export'));
$module->disableTools('Merge');
