Re: did I maximise value on these two hands...???
Hand 1, I hate the limp. If you're going to play, raise, otherwise fold, and I would fold far more often than raise.
Hand 2, you should not fear the backdoor flush! The likelihood of CO calling the flop with 2 diamonds is rare and usually only happens when he had some other piece of the flop. It's a lot more likely he's got a Q, 2-pair or some hand like 85s that you can make some money from. Bet 1/2 - 2/3 pot and hope he looks you up.
