I got a case book reference for both.
For situaion 1: 2003 Case book 6.1.1 situation D.
F1 takes his sign in the (a) windup position or (b) set position. R1 at third attempts to steal home. F1 steps foreward off of the pitcher's plate and throws to F2.
RULING: Balk in (a) and (b).
For situaion 2:
I can't find a rule reference right now but I will keep looking. It is interference and the runner is out, unless there are already 2 outs, the the batter is out.
