4. here's my attempt to answer your questions:

1) astroturf: a fake "grass roots movement." If a big corporation or political organization pays people to protest, for example, but does not reveal that it is doing so, what appears to be a group of disgruntled people expressing genuine views really is not.

2) gaslighting: denying the reality of what someone else is saying, maybe accompanied by accusing them of being overly sensitive, not very bright, etc.
