Answer 1

random_bytes() was introduced with PHP 7.

As stated in the manual:

Note: Although this function was added to PHP in PHP 7.0, a » userland implementation is available for PHP 5.2 to 5.6, inclusive.

You can use that userland implementation as a backport: https://github.com/paragonie/random_compat
