It's not going to be a foul on the shooter in either situation. The defender does not have LGP, nor is he within his verticality.
Change the plays and have the defender doing the same thing, only not airborne. What do you have?

I still have a foul on the defense. Defender moves into the path of an airborne shooter - that's a block. Did I miss something?

I'm thinking the first play could be a no-call, Smitty. If the defender is clearly planning to go past the shooter, and shooter moves sideways toward the defender, that's sure not a defensive foul, even if it's not offensive, either. (Hey, look, MTD, those words go well in that sentence!)
On the second one, I think I'd have to be there. If A1 alters his path to draw a foul, I may no-call it, but it's hard to tell from this description.
