1. Backcourt violation both times. The line is considered part of the backcourt. A player with the ball must be past the line to establish front court status, and then need only touch the line to commit a backcourt violation.
Once the rebound is secured (in the front court), FC status has been achieved, and a pass to the backcourt teammate would be a violation.
2. You are correct. Starting to raise your arm means nothing, but it does get you some heat from coaches and fans. Slow down, and consentrate on slowing your whistle down a second. This will help you make sure you saw what you thought you saw. Quick whistles often lead to inadvertent whistles, which are never good.
