Default 2 dolla donkament: Two spots deep in money

Decided to play a two dollar tournament for fun last night and ran into two spots that I wasn't sure what the correct move was.

Hand 1 - Went for the squeeze and got pushed over by the short stack, which ended the betting, and set up an awkward situation on the flop. That's a pretty good flop for me, but the pot is so bloated that any decent sized bet I make commits most of my stack. Since this is a super-micro tournament, can I profitably push this flop after big stack checks, or am I looking to just check this down, or what?

UTG+1 checks
Hero ???

Hand 2 is just a basic tournament question strategy. The HH didnt get recorded for some reason, so I'll just explain it manually:
Folds around to button, who raises to 4x (about half my stack at this point), SB folds, I have Q10o in the BB. In this situation, should I just be pushing since his range is wide and I'll probably be at worst a 60-40ish dog, and possibly ahead?
