Answer 1

The column types m and b are not defined in the LaTeX kernel. They are provided by package array, which needs to be loaded:

\usepackage{array}

Also:

• The font size is much, much too small.
• Too many lines, see the documentation of package booktabs.
• \centering, \scriptsize, ... are commands without arguments. A simple space to end the command name if necessary will do, there is no need for a group ({}).
• \textquoteright is not a apostrophe, the latter is just a simple '.
• Tabular cells in latex form already a group, there is no need for an additional pair of braces here, e.g. & {*} & → & * &.
• et al. 2014 has sentence space after the abbreviation al.. A normal space is set, if the space factor is reset by \@: et al.\@ 2014.

A suggestion:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{ragged2e}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\newcommand*{\NarrowCell}{%
  \RaggedRight
  \hangafter=1
  \hangindent=1em\relax
}
