The correct answer to this is:
1.

and 2.

Any other commentary about it being handled differently for NL (where something less than a full raise reopens the pot) is an exception by a house/organizer that doesn't actually know the correct rule or had to make a ruling for some reason. I've seen it argued by many people before, but the 50% rule only applies to Limit poker. So unless there is some valid reason or ruling as to why something less that a full raise would reopen the pot, there is no reason to perpetuate that exception especially in a home game where people constantly play by the wrong rules for no reason.
 
Additionally, from the NL/PL section of Robert's Rules of Poker (which fully supports the TDA rule):
3. All raises must be equal to or greater than the size of the previous bet or raise on that betting round, except for an all-in wager. Example: Player A bets 100 and player B raises to 200. Player C wishing to raise must raise at least 100 more, making the total bet at least 300. A player who has already acted and is not facing a fullsize wager may not subsequently raise an all-in bet that is less than the minimum bet or less than the full size of the last bet or raise. [B](The half-the-size rule for reopening the betting is for limit poker only.)[/B]
