Answer 1

It is worth looking towards pm2.
It has autostart pm2 startup

Answer 2

In order for the script to run at boot, you need to write it in the /etc/rc.local file before the exit 0 line.
If you do not have this file, create it and paste the following content into it:

#
!/bin/sh -e
#Здесь вставляем строку с указанием вашего скрипта.
/usr/sbin/script.js
exit 0

the script must be in the /usr/sbin/ directory

It's best to write your own service (see /etc/init.d/skeleton sample) and set it to autostart (see man update-rc.d).
