These two questions are looking at different behaviours of electrons, wave like behaviour and particle like behaviour.
The first question is looking at wave-like behaviour, diffraction. The crystal is acting like a diffraction grating and the electrons are acting like waves with wavelengths given by deBroglie's equation λ=h/mv
The second question is looking at particle-like behaviour, electrons are being accelerated vertically by an electric field between the plates.
if the electric field strength is increased the electrons will be accelerated vertically at a greater rate and if the electrons spend longer between the plates they will be accelerated for a longer time and leave the plates having been displaced vertically further.
