Neither of these stones has a cut better than 2B according to the gem appraisers cut chart. Also, a desirable length/width ratio is usually around 2 (give or take .25).

Some marquise stones on the internet for comparison:

0.56 D VS1

0.59 G SI1

0.37 D VS2

No idea ! Both are very long - as noted already. These proportions are not at all usual, although they would be considered a matter of taste. Otherwise, neither stone is a disaster. Not sure, for example that I would really go for a stone with small table and such a long profile, even though a smaller table than depth could be desirable in a wider stone. Less than 4mm width in both these stones is just as much as on average ring band - not too much at all - while the length would look sizeable relative to the finger. It would be great if you could see these, since the stones are quite unusual. their proportions would look somewhat like the drawing below (generated using the "Fancy Shape Selector" at gemappraisers.com). Given table size, stone #2 would actually look quite close to the picture, face-up.
