Answer 1

Hey it looks like you made an error configuring Nicecast. You might want to read the following guide.
Please note that Nicecast has an built-in Icecast server, make sure you are not using this one. As well not that Nicecast for some reason will kill any running Icecast server on the same machine where Nicecast is started. So you have to first start Nicecast and only afterwards start your Icecast Server. (This should not happen anymore after you have disable the built-in server though)
Another issue I experience with some versions of Nicecast is that the Settings or at least some (like the Mountpoint Name) only take effect after restarting Nicecast.
Additionally make sure your Mountpoint name is not /, as this is an impossible mountpoint name (it conflicts with the web interface).

Answer 2

under mount and above path use
<mount>
<mount-name>/myradio</mount-name>
<password>mypassword</password>
<public>1</public>
</mount>
Then in your encoder use /myradio as mountpoint and mypassword as password
