  posts: [{ type: Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: \'Post\' }]
});

Answer 1

This is because when you are running user findOne query it returns an object to you.(the findOne function returns only one object)

User.findOne({ _id: req.user._id}, function(err, result) {

 /// result is an object
    result.pull({ _id: req.body.post_id });
  });

and what is result.pull you are trying to pull an element from object this is the wrong way to do

do like this 
delete result._id;


and if you want more elements from user query in from of array you can use 
User.find({ _id: req.user._id}, function(err, result) {

// result.slice for slice you can see this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3396088/how-do-i-remove-an-object-from-an-array-with-javascript
  });

then you can do slice on array of object
