2 kinds of clutch noises??

After searching and not finding much on this topic, I decided to give yall a try.
Problem 1: Every so often, when I depress the clutch, I hear a speaking noise from behind the petal. It gets pretty annoying. I looked for a place where it might be coming from, but can't decide its exact location. Any tips? P.S. --- Only does it randomly every couple of days then goes away.
Problem 2: Sometimes when I bomb on it, i hear this knocking sound coming from the clutch when I shift into a higher gear. The sound is coming from underneath the cab. It happens when I start to let go of the clutch (when the clutch is let off really fast). Sounds like the clutch is making a hard contact when let back off of. This only happens when I'm hauling butt to make a light or just playing around town, but not when driving or shifting normally. Is this a problem? Is it damaging to my clutch, or normal? Thanks.

I have had problem number 1. Remove the kick board from under the steering wheel - should be 3 screws. Lube the pedal bushings with grease.

My owners manual actually specifies a grease for this.

Hope this helps - some. And yes that squeak is really annoying!
