I think it would be helpful for you to post your reasoning in addition to the details of the hand, as the truly important thing to learn is how to think about these situations rather than just what you should have done in one particular spot. I think the second one is good, and I would probably slowplay the first for a lot of the same reasons. You have a hand that is very hard to draw out on and because you have a Q it’s harder for your opponent to have a second best hand. If you haven’t already, you might want to check out my Getting Paid series here on TPE.
