Answer 1

According to log, it sounds like some kind of bug, during AppCenter database tables check (database exists, successful connection verified) -
"The SQL query SELECT APPCNTR_VERSION FROM APPCNTR_VERSION returned no rows, but expected 1". Instead of exiting it needs to actually create those tables. Ideally you should open a PMR to IBM support with this.
But you can try to overcome this issue in 2 ways.
By trying to execute SQL script manually within your DB and then re-run installer. Most probably it will go through fluently afterwards. For oracle file called create-appcenter-oracle.sql and it is located somewhere under /opt/IBM/MobileFirst_Platform_Server/ApplicationCenter
By setting up Application Center manually (executing sql script on database, installing/moving war files and configuring server) and then deselect checkbox to install appcenter during installation with Installation Manager.
Follow instructions on Knowledge center for your DB
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSHS8R_7.1.0/com.ibm.worklight.installconfig.doc/admin/c_manually_configuring_databases_for_ac.html
You can also get some insights from here (prior to lab 8.3) https://mfp.help/appcenter-on-bluemix/
Hopefully installer will afterwards go fine for MFP Server and Analytics database, otherwize you will need to setup those sings also manually using ant scripts.

Answer 2

Basically, it is possible to install Application Center either manually or using Ant tasks.
So you may try choosing not installing Application Center in Installation Manager by checking radio button "No" when prompting to do so. This way, Installation Manager will certainly completes the installation successfully in your target directory "/opt/IBM/MobileFirst_Platform_Server".
Afterwards, you may create the Application Center database using the script create-appcenter-oracle.sql that should have been installed in
"/opt/IBM/MobileFirst_Platform_Server/ApplicationCenter/configuration-samples"
https://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSHSCD_7.1.0/com.ibm.worklight.installconfig.doc/admin/t_setting_up_your_oracle_database_manually_for_ac.html?lang=en
After the Application Center database is created, the next step is to deploy Application Center to your Liberty profile using Ant task for example
