No, but if you commit 5 of them, you will be.
Or, if two of them are intentional technical fouls, you would be disqualified.
There are two types of player fouls with various subjections.
1. Personal
a) common
b) shooting
c) intentional
d) flagrant

2. Technical
a) unsporting
b) intentional

A few years ago in a freshman boys game, we had a player who was a bit out of control. He shoved a player from behind rather than give him a wide open layup. I called the intentional.

Later in the game, he did it again, to a smaller player. The second time, you could see he was really out of control and dangerous. My partner called a flagrant on that one.

With live ball contact, it really depends on intent.

In your scenarios, you could consider an intentional with the elbow based on excessive contact. Calling the intentional foul there is likely to stop that behavior. If it doesn't, and the player continues to disregard the rules so flagrantly, a flagrant foul may be in order.
