These two happened one right after the other ... so I obviously chose to fold the first one. Did I make the right choice at both spots? Neither? One?

My take...

1ST HAND - Fold. He likely has either AT-AK or a pair. Either you're way behind or slightly behind. Best case you have two overcards.

2ND HAND - Push. Prolly up against two big cards.. making you a slight fav. No matter, blinds are going up and you're holding a wired pair with shrinking blinds. If you don't call here, likely the BB calls and doubles. Push and win.. you're back in it.
