Once again, Bob is spot on!
The first is a bookkeeping mistake. Only the referee deals with that. There was no rule set aside by the officials on the court that resulted in this, so it does not qualify as a correctable error. (Note that along with being one of the five items listed, the error must be due to the setting aside of a rule by the officials. Both of those requirements must be met for something to be classified as a correctable error. Otherwise, the situation is just a mistake which sometimes can be fixed and sometimes can't.)
The second is a clearly defined correctable error. Any official is authorized to handle a correctable error, but the referee should certainly be involved.
Always listen to Bob.
