Welcome to the wonderful world of officiating. To answer your questions:
1) Jump ball. Travel is only called if the ball was never touched by the other player. I almost always give the benifit of the doubt that the player was trying to shoot and was prevented.
2) This is a violation. But since it is the first of two, that means the first free throw ended with a violation and we are ready for the second. We do it again then we give it to the other team. Are you confused. Good. The simple answer is to ignore it and go to the second free throw.
