In the first pic it looks like you have a couple of horn worm droppings on the lower leaf to the bottom left.

I have a pest called Flee Beetle on my tomato plants and chew holes in the leaves and it looks alot like your #2 pic. They are little black bugs and when you move the leaves to look at them, they jump off. I have been using soap on the tomatos but it does not seem to effect these bugs at all.
