Answer 1

From this answer, we have

wmic path win32_localtime get dayofweek

Expanding on this based on suggestions in this thread, we can set a dayofweek variable as follows:

@echo off
REM Unset dayofweek in case set in a previous execution of this batch file
set dayofweek=
REM Get dayofweek into a variable.  Locale-specific:  0 is either Sunday or Monday.
for /F "skip=1 tokens=*" %%a in ('wmic path win32_localtime get dayofweek') do if not defined dayofweek set dayofweek=%%a
echo %dayofweek%

Note that 0 can be Sunday or Monday depending your locale.
