EDIT: two questions oops!
In the first one, there is an insufficient bid! But I would still assume 2♦ is a good raise and I can now use my game tries.
2nd question: It's an obvious 3♥. If you don't have a full opening in the first place, don't accept any tries

Not normally but its reasonable to play them over these types of raises.
BTW, I'm not a fan of 2WGT.

The main reason why 2wgt are not normally used in auctions like the second one is because Opener will raise on 3 card support fairly often and you need to be able to distinguish between 4 and 5+ card games tries by Responder. If playing a system that bans 3 card raises here then 2wgt's make sense.
