Thank you, Cleve. As for No. 1, M is a student and F (I should have written Ms. Sato) is a teacher.

Do you have any idea about my comments?

I understand that politeness is a very important part of Japanese culture, so I think you are the better judge of how to word a dialogue between Japanese people.
What you wrote sounds fine to me.
