1. nothng is mentioned about the type of graph , so can't comment accurately, otherwise considering the Simple Graph the statment is True that atleast 2 vertex must have same degree (Havell-Hakimi theorem).
2. Statment True: because as k>=2 there cant be any edge whose removal disconnect as every vertex has same degree and being bipartite 2 sets willalways be connected even though 1 edge is removed
