You were right on both accounts, except your answers for the second were a tad different than what was in the JAA exam. The correct answer was worded, "slowest possible speed for any given configuration".
A point to note, VS1 is not a stalled condition by the way, the aircraft is still flyable, admittedly "just flyable"
Vs1 - stalling speed or minimum steady flight speed in a specific configuration
For example in Stall Demonstartion in JAR 25, Vs1 corresponds to the stall speed with flaps in the approach position, the landing gear retracted, and maximum landing weight). (See ACJ 25.201(a)(2).)



Well done
