Answer 1

RabbitMQ is trying to print out the following message:
RabbitMQ 3.3.5. Copyright (C) 2007-2014 GoPivotal, Inc.
## ## Licensed under the MPL. See http://www.rabbitmq.com/
## ##

##########
Starting broker...ok
But it fails to do so, because on one hand the filename is given as a Unicode "string", i.e. a list of code points (note the 322 in the middle, which stands for ł), but on the other hand RabbitMQ is trying to print this as a non-Unicode string (using the ~s directive instead of ~ts).
I'd suggest you report this as a bug to the RabbitMQ developers. Meanwhile, you could try running it from a directory whose path doesn't contain non-ASCII characters.

Answer 2

I had the exact same problem. My workaround solution was to insert an additional batch line in rabbitmq-server.bat or rabbitmq-service.bat files:
SET HOMEPATH=\SOME_PATH_WITHOUT_NON_ASCII_CHARACTERS
%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH% is used as a path where the .erlang.cookie file is stored. I've also set RABBITMQ_BASE to some non-ascii path too, like you did.
This solution was inspired by this SO Answer.
