Answer:

id use something called traffic patch, its has fiber and small aggrigate to add for extra strength, you dont want to use just a motar patch, it will crack and break after a period of time, thats just my experience.
For 50 blocks, definitely mortar mix, just add water.
dont even bother with using mortar. -goto home depot or some other place and get a few tubes of construction adhesive the reads it will work on concrete. then paint it white or whatever color you want. Job done. Me? i woud use something loke exterior grade liquid nail.
If you are laying concrete blocks (cinder blocks) for a block wall then you put motar between the blocks as you lay them. Mortar is a cement and sand mixture. You can buy motar mix at the hardware store. Cement is powder substanse that is used to make Concrete and Mortor. Concrete contains Cement, Aggrigate (rocks), Sand, and Water. People often refer to a sidwalk or driveway as being made of cement. Technically this is incorrect. Sidewalks and driveways are made out of Concrete. Cement is just one of the ingediants in concrete.
