The answer to your questions may be found below:

A) If a person breaks their wudhu whilst performing tawaaf, upon returning from renewing their wudhu they may carry on from where they had left off. However, if they had performed less than four rounds of tawaaf, it would be preferable to restart the tawaaf

B) Similar to the first scenario, both will carry on from where they had left off.
