$11+1 FT 2 situations I am not in very often

These situations don't happen very often, but I am curious as to how they should be played.

Hand 1: No reads, did I play this right? (I'm going to ask that you don't say "fold pf" on this one)

Hand 2: This one is really only interesting because of my chip stack compared to the rest of the players. My read on the big stack is that, when folded to him, he has limped from the SB to me for the last 10 orbits or so. Post flop, he plays passively, occasionally calling down and folding on the river. He has yet to show any aggression but he seems to be limping with everything. My guess is that I should have just called his riverbet, but you be the judge.
