Answer 1

I'd say they are aphids or white scale --- have a look underneath the leaves for tell-tale signs such as a white powdery often sticky white substance --- you need to treat the branches leaves etc with pyrethrum all similar insecticide .
if you are unsure ,take diseased leaf to your local nursery for analysis --- but if do decide to go ahead and do it yourself --- follow the instructions to the letter . good luck

Answer 2

It could be caterpillars or aphids. My solution would be to cut down the tree.
