I would argue that the answer is yes in both cases, as dealing damage (including from Critical Hit cards) is all a part of Step 7 of an attack: "Deal Damage:  If the defender was hit, it suffers one damage for each uncanceled  hit  result and one critical damage for each uncanceled  critical  result. All damage must be suffered before any critical damage may be suffered."
