Answer 1

First of all you need to check are you in correct folder?

$...local\Android\sdk\tools\emulator -list-avds

If so it will show you list of emulators that you have in your Android studio you are on right track Last part for launching an emulator

local\Android\sdk\tools\emulator -avd Nexus_5X(name of your emulator you want to open) 

Answer 2

The problem is, that you have specified your SDK in a file what has space, in its name For example: Android SDK You need to change it to something what hasn't got space in its name.

Hope it helps.

Or if you specified it in the Program Files use it: Progra~1 instead of Program Files.
