What type of foul do we have?

My understanding of the rules (4-19, 6-1) leads me to believe Common foul in both Situations. What is the correct ruling?

I have nothing in #2. Contact is to be expected when setting a screen. As long as B2 does not force their way through the screen, then it's a no-call. It's one of those things that looks really bad because you often end up with 2 bodies on the floor and no whistle, but there's no illegal activity by either player.
