Dart around, tinged with

Hi,

1) Would this work?

"Her eyes dart around the kitchen which is a sign that she's getting better." I'm talking about a dog that is recovering from an illness and I want to say that she's concerned about what's going on in the kitchen and that she tries to watch every movement."

2) "This university seems more like a school of history tinged with geography." Could I say this when talking about a school where the professors place too much value on history and geography? I heard the word 'tinged with' in a similar example, but I'm not sure if it's correct here.

Thank you.
