In the second one the shaila is about bittul torah not about davening in the place where you learn. He brings it in at the end when he quotes the first teshuva. Regarding that issue it’s mefurash that it’s docheh tefilla b’tzibur, however there are other considerations such as the Teshuva the Tur quotes from the Rosh that the multitudes will learn not to come to shul either. This is why I noted in my original post that Lemaiseh one shouldn’t rely on this halacha and I said that I am only being melamed zechus. But R’ Moshe definitely seems to be agreeing that M’ikar Hadin davening in the place where you learn (especially when combined with the sevara of bittul torah) is docheh tefilla b’tzibur.
