Busybox is usually installed in /system/xbin. So check this folder and be
sure it is in your path.
Then $ adb shell mount
is usually the proper way to invoke mount. /system/xbin/mount is a symlink
to busybox.
You can find the busybox package on the web and don't need a Google
account. Download it then $ adb install

Your fasboot package shall work. Put your device in fasboot mode and plug
it. Then
$ fastboot devices
You shall see your phone listed.
