$web.Dispose()
$web = $null
Write-Host $listCreatedDateTime

Answer 3

The Created date and Created By (Internal name Author) can be checked one of the tools like SPManager. However, if a code solution like PS is needed then the script by @Waqas can be used with one addition $list.Author to get created by information.
