1st one obv push

2nd is a bit more dodgy as you have several people yet to act

1 is a good push, but 2 isn't. The button, SB and BB have enough chips to call with a wide range of hands that probably has you crushed.

2nd is standard too, 650 in the pot and your stack is 1785, if you wait until you are in late position again your FE is pretty much non-existent, the only argument to be made is that you probably should have pushed a worse hand sooner in later position, but sometimes the table just doesn't cooperate and you aren't in a situation where you can do that

Folded to the CO with less than 8 BBs pretty much your requirement for pushing is that you were dealt 2 cards, I may fold like bottom 20% here depending on the table.

Second one is a push too, and I agree with the comment that unless something pretty abnormal happens (you lose a big pot against someone who you had covered slightly) you should never get this short.
