newifr,

You'll find that the alternate minima doesn't change between approaches - it's purely an aerodrome thing (ignoring Special Alternate Minima (SPAM)).

For both your examples, if the cloud base is greater than SCT below the alternate minima and/or the vis is less than the alternate minima then either an alternate, or holding, is required. Remember, an alternate cannot require an alternate itself.
