Answer 1

Using Ansible modules, you don't need to check if something exist or not, you just describe the desired state, so:

- name: create directory if they don't exist
  file:
    path: "{{ item }}"
    state: directory
    owner: root
    group: root
    mode: 0775
  loop:
    - /data/directory
    - /data/another
