These are questions of agreements. If you are playing with an established partner, you should make the appropriate bid. If you don't know what the appropriate bid is, then you and partner need to sit down and discuss your system.

If I were playing with a pickup partner and had only very rudimentary discussion then

Hand 1: I would have opened 1♣ rather than 1♠
Hand 2: I would open 1♠ and rebid 2♠

[jdonn]

I would rebid 2♠ on both. 3♣ should show a little extra. The second hand nearly makes it but I normally like 14+ if I'm 5-5 or 13 with good suits, whereas this one is 13 with too many short suit honors.

[pooltuna]

I would respond 2♠ with either example hand as this has the look of a potential misfit and I don't want partner getting too excited

Hrothgar's comments are all right on target. However, we have discussed this, are not a pickup partnership, and are stuck with 1S, then 2S on both, as Josh says.

But there is always the matter of interpretation and hand evaluation, in both the spades are really equivalent to a four card suit at best so bid clubs first.
