Not sure how to help with the first program.
make sure your connected to the cRIO in the "remote Systems" panel.

as for the variables. there are a few ways to do it i think
i use
printf(" Int: %d Float: %f ",myIntVariable, myFloatVariable);
which replaces the %d and %f with an int and a float varriable.

i think you might be able to use the cout<< stream too.
which would look like
cout <<"int: "<<myIntVariavle<<"Float: "<<myFloatVariable;
