I would use "at" for both instances.
One COULD say that "I met him DURING a lecture" but that would imply that you met in the actual course of the lecture (i.e. while the speaker was speaking) rather than meeting at the place where the lecture occurred (e.g. during a break in the lecture).

The first one's a little bit difficult. I don't think that any of those are great options. I think "at" would be better.
Of the ones there I would go with: "during"
I met him during a lecture.

During, or at.

During--in both examples. You could also use "at."

none.
you should use the preposition, at, and not during though that is appropriate amongst your options

if 'AT' isn't a choice, your next option is 'DURING'
