Answer 1

Since you are using nested fragments, you should use getChildFragmentManager()

SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getChildFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map);

And I recommend you to use getMapAsync method, because getMap is deprecated

mapFragment.getMapAsync(new OnMapReadyCallback() {
    @Override
    public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
        setupMap(googleMap);
    }
});

You need to use findViewById on the view you get, not using the fragment manager. The map is attached to the view

    View v =inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_map, container, false);

    map = v.findViewById(R.id.map))
            .getMap();
