First Question:
The fallacy of drawing a broad conclusion from limited or insufficient evidence is known as the hasty generalization fallacy. This is a common logical fallacy where one makes a sweeping statement based on a small or unrepresentative sample.
The fallacy that appeals to the popularity of an idea (i.e., using the fact that many people believe or do something as a reason it is true or good) is the bandwagon fallacy. It relies on the idea that if a lot of people accept something, it must be valid.
Misrepresenting an argument (usually by distorting, exaggerating, or simplifying it) to make it easier to refute is called the straw man fallacy. The "straw man" is a weaker or misrepresented version of the actual argument, which is then attacked.
