For the first question, in a laboratory, the instructor has the knowledge and authority to handle the fire situation properly. Running for the extinguisher without instruction may not be the best - first - step as one may not know the type of fire (e.g., if it's an electrical fire, water - based extinguishers are not suitable). Throwing water on the fire is dangerous if it's a chemical or electrical fire. Opening windows can fan the flames.
For the second question, advising the instructor is important as they can take extra precautions if needed. Taking out contact lenses before starting the lab is not always practical. One still needs to wear protective goggles even with contact lenses. Keeping the information to oneself is not advisable as the instructor should be aware for safety.
