For the first question, I'll let the devs answer, but apparently sox
doesn't batch.

For the second question, that's not a sox issue; it's a scripting
question.  What shell are you using?  For bash:

for F in *.wav ; do
    sox $F -b 8 mydir/$F
done

I'm guessing you use Windows CLI?  For that I'd use this:
https://ss64.com/nt/for2.html -- so it looks like you just need %% instead
of %, and a backslash between the dir name and the wave file name.
