Answer 1

You can send them in your method for launching the driver. e.g.

public static WebDriver chromeBrowser() throws Throwable {
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\chromedriver-location\\chromedriver.exe");
        ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
        options.addArguments("--no-sandbox");
        WebDriver browser = new ChromeDriver(options);
        browser.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        return browser;
    }

Answer 2

In nightwatch you should include chromeOptions with no-sandbox args into desiredCapabilities as below :-

"desiredCapabilities" : {
  "browserName" : "chrome",
  "javascriptEnabled" : true,
  "acceptSslCerts" : true,
  "chromeOptions" : {
    "args" : ["--no-sandbox"]
  }
}
