Hand 1: fine. raise to 1000-1200 preflop, and fold to SB's push;

Hand 2: fold on flop. you call the raise preflop for set value.

Isn't raising to 1000-1200 spewing chips incase the big stack calls?

Hand 1: If you think the SB is crafty and might pick up on the min as weakness then ya, raise 1000 . . . otherwise, min raise and play as you did.

Hand 2: Fold anywhere you can think of but DEFINITELY fold that flop. Why would you call?
