In question 1, we're talking about bubble play, right?
 
My suggestion would be to keep pressure on the whole table if you're the big stack.  The small stack is probably your most dangerous opponent though - they know they're going out without making any money unless they chip up quick, so they're desperate.  The other two stacks should be your targets for bullying / stealing blinds.
 
That said, the small blind won't have a hand every time, and they'll be afraid of calling without something good.  I'd still make standard raises.  If they push back, give them credit for the hand, and acknowledge that the times you have to fold to this pressure will probably be outweighed by the amount of times you just take the blinds down.
 
I'm assuming four players and that the small stack is on your immediate left, BTW - if they're on your right, you should have a much easier time as they'll have already acted and you can concentrate more on just punishing the medium stacks while the small stack is out of the hand.  And if you're down to just three players (ie: bubble's burst, in the money now) you'll want to scale the bullying back a bit - people will push back a lot more readily now that they know they're taking something away for their troubles.
