Answer 1

"Meet the New Boss, Same as the Old Boss."
'Babba O'Reilly,' The Who

Or so it might seem - - - Harry S Truman set the agenda and Dwight Eisenhower didn't have any reason to rock the boat though a lot of noise was made about 'The New Look.' The usual Republican rhetoric about how they would be tougher on Communist, fairer towards American's Allies, etc. But nothing fundamentally changed. Russia remained the Evil Soviet Empire, Communist China the New Menace. Since Republicans had more invested in Central and South America, more attention was given to those regions under Eisenhower, but since the fifties were prosperous times the money spigot that Truman turned on in West Germany and Italy continued to gush.
One Dynamic Difference between the Truman and Eisenhower Eras was that much maligned man Richard Nixon. As a Young Energetic Veep, Nixon was sent off on missions to Central and South America and Russia, to name a few. Whatever Nixons faults he was an effective V-P and his diplomatic missions made a favorable impresion especially in Latin America. Merely coincidental the anti-Communist rhetoric was amped up during Eisenhower's reign and many veteran State Department employees found themselves out and some were even 'outed' in the modern sence, an entrenched group of 'old Queens' were sent packing on the grounds that they were at least pink if not flaming red.
Both Truman and Eisenhower relied upon strong Secretary of States, men of vision who did not require hand holding, this left their Presidents free to pursue their domestic agenda.

Answer 2

The Truman Doctrine and Eisenhower's concerns over Communist was to develop economic and social means of combating Communism rather than militarily. It began with the Greek-Turkey face off in the late 1940s. Vietnam was the last major foreign policy concerns for Eisenhower and his fear that if one country fell the others around it would fall.
