Both! Force is a quaternion quantity, the sum of a scalar force and a vector force. For example there are two gravitational forces, the scalar force Fs= - GmM d/dr 1/r = GmM/r^2 and the vector force Fv= Del -GmM/r = GmM R/r^3.

Either, or both. Motion can be described in either vector or scalar terms. Speed is a scalar quantity, having only a magnitude. Velocity is a vector quantity, having both magnitude and direction. Acceleration is a vector quantity.
the force of attraction or repulsion = (k*q1*q2*r')/r^3 where r' is the position vector
Total force (or net force) is the vector sum of the individual forces. Huh? OK, if all forces are along the x-axis, you add the positive forces and subtract the negative forces -- force is a vector, a quantity having a size and a direction.
You need to get the vector sum. You can do this by resoving all forces into its 3 axis components, adding forces in like axes, and compute the new vector.
Columbs force is a vector and a scalar it is a Quaternion, Coulombs' Force is the derivative of the energy E= -e^2zc/4pi r. The derivative is consists of a scalr and a vector. XE= [d/dr, Del] [-e^2/zc/4 pi r, 0] = -e^2zc/4pi (d/dr(1/r) + Del 1/r) XE = e^2zc/4pi r^2 (1 + R/r) where R/r is the unit vector. Columb's Force is a quaternion involving a scalar force e^2zc/4pi r^2 and a radial vector force, e^2zcR/4pi r^3.

Forces are created in many different ways. . . . . for example strong nuclear force electromagnetic force weak force and gravity
it can be described in both. when graphically, it will be represented by an arrow in the direction of the vector and have the magnitude either written by it or you will have the arrow drawn to scale for the magnitude (length) of the arrow. numerically, you can break it down into its x, y, and z components and put them in from of i, j, and k respectively. ex a vector with x component of 3, y component of 2 and z component of 4 can be written as 3i +2j +4k
Separate each force vector into x, y and z coordinates, then add them together. For example, three forces of (3, 5, 1), (-1, -2, 5) and (-1, -1, -1) are all acting a body; their sum is (3 - 1 - 1, 5 - 2 - 1, 1 + 5 - 1) = (1, 2, 5) which is the net force on that body. If the forces are only acting in one or two dimensions, then the mathematics are simpler, such as (2, 3) and (-4, -1), or just (2) and (-3). This may require some trigonometry to determine the size of each ordinate number; a vector of (3, -2, 4) has a real value of sqrt(29) in a direction roughly to the right-forward of and below the current position, and to return to a vector in coordinates is even harder.
