Answer 1

You cannot unzip a blob to another blob (or to a Storage container), as blobs and containers aren't the same as local files / directories, and don't behave the same way. The only way to unzip is to download it from blob storage to somewhere local (such as your VM), unzip to local storage, and do whatever you need to do.
