It seems that you have very outdated server version. Actually I believe this version should have not been released even. Could you please tell what’s the contents of your D:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\common\Screeps\server\package.json file? And please re-install your Steam Screeps package after that.

You could make a function that determines adjacent rooms based on the room name. If you take North and East as positive axis, South and West as negative you could give each room a x,y coordinate (e.g. W10N5 = -10,5). Now you can simply calculate "coordinations" of adjacent rooms and convert it back to a name.

It seems to me that a flowfield would be more beneficial during attacks with larger groups of units. If you have a few units it probably wouldn't be worth the CPU but as your attack formations become larger I think a flowfield would be more beneficial over multiple path calculations. I'm currently switching most of my expensive CPU calls into a message based system: whenever a creep needs a new path, it posts a message to the back of the command queue. When I'm done with all work and still have CPU left I'll calculate a new path for the creep. The creep won't post a 'requestPath' command whenever there's one in the cache it can use.
