[NX-101 Issue] Refactor error handling to use consistent API error format

Replaced all inline error messages with the standardized `api_error` helper for consistent error response formatting. This improves clarity, maintainability, and ensures uniform error structures across the application. Updated logging for collector failures to include error class and switched to warning level for target unreachable scenarios.
