It is two points in both cases. Rule 4-40 Article 2:
A try for field goal is an attempt by a player to score two or three points when throwing the ball into a team's OWN basket. A player is trying for goal when the player has the ball and in the official's judgment is throwing or attempting to throw for goal.
In this case, both baskets were accidental therefore they were NOT a result of a try so only two points can be scored.
In the case book, case 4.39.4B answers both of your questions.
