The first passage you quote refers to gentiles not being too full of themselves because God choose them over the unsaved in Israel. It’s stating that it is easy for God to remove or graft unto the tree. The second passage is giving evidence that Christians still have to ability to sin when they are saved and not to fall into the temptations of the flesh and instead heed the Holy Spirit inside of them. The verses have nothing to do with the doctrine of perseverance of the saints. For Jesus is the author and finisher of your faith- Hebrews 12:2
Yes they do. They show that a Christian can fall away by disobedience.
John 15:10 10If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commands and remain in his love.
