Answer 1

Those are not errors, are Notices:
$iColumns = $input['iColumns'];
$input has no key named iColumns.
"sEcho" => intval($input['sEcho']),
Same thing here: $input has no key named sEcho
Make sure that $_REQUEST contains both keys.
Or you could disable Error Reporting for notices.
EDIT:
You use:
$input = & $_REQUEST;
you should provably use $_GET or $_POST depending how you send the date to the server and ensure iColumns and sEcho are sent.
If your frontend has a form and you are posting the data, you could validate the input fields so those two variables are required OR give them a default value.
If you want to default it (for example) to 10:
$iColumns = isset($input['iColumns']) ? isset($input['iColumns']) : 10;
and (not sure what sEcho index is used for:
$sEcho = isset($input['sEcho'] ? intval($input['sEcho']) : 10;
$output = array(
"sEcho" => $sEcho,
"iTotalRecords" => $m_collection->count(),
"iTotalDisplayRecords" => $cursor->count(),
"aaData" => array(),
);
That should not give you any notices.
Other Option, disable reporting of notices:
[root#server ]$ vi /etc/php.ini
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE
Or, in the top of your php file:
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
