My answers depend on my read of the players, however:
Hand #1: bet pot. I need to know where I am.
Hand #2: fold. Looks a lot like TPTK.

Hand #1: Betting the pot is not a terrible idea (not a great idea, either), but the reasoning is awful. To "know where you are" is ridiculous. The pot is 510. You have about 700-800 chips. A pot-sized bet is a pot committed bet. You're not going to find out "where you are". You will already be there, with all your chips.
You need to decide if you are going to fold this hand, or play this hand to the end. If you decide to play this, I would recommend check/calling to the river. The reason is that the person who is ahead on the flop will almost certainly be ahead on the river. In other words, you don't need to bet this to protect against somebody outdrawing you on the turn or river. The person who is ahead on the flop is the person who is going to win this pot. Check/calling may allow you to save some chips for the miracle comeback if you are not that person.
Hand #2 I would fold.
