We cannot really see the first ant too clearly,  the photos are a bit on the dark side.

 

As for the second queen, she very well could be the arboreal ant living inside myrmecophilous plants, Philidris.

I don't think this is Pheidole. Looks more like Monomorium.

7 millimeters seems slightly large for Monomorium.

Queens do vary in size - tropical Monomorium may be a bit larger than the temperate variety here in the states.
