Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,

1. The qalqalah kubraa is when the qalqalah is on the end of a word and we are stopping on the word.  The qalqalah sughraa is when the saakin letter of qalqalah is in the middle of a word, or the end of word, but we are not stopping on the word.  Please see: http://www.abouttajweed.com/qalqalah_mechanism.htm and please scroll down to the end of the page. 

2, is defined as: It occurs when a “leen” letter ( or   with a sukoon, preceded by a letter with a fathah) is followed by one letter only in the same word and we stop on the last letter in the word with a presented sukoon.
 Its rule:  It is allowed to lengthen this medd 2-4-or 6 vowel counts when stopping on the word. When continuing reading (not stopping on this word), there is a slight lengthening of the “leen” letter, referred by the scholars as 
"" which is less than two vowel counts, but longer than one vowel count.
