Weed #2

Located in Zone 6, Louisville KY

Weed #1 is clover. Even without a name, almost any generic weed killer
will kill it. Scott Bonus S will take it out and encourage your grass.

I've seen #2 before, but cannot name it. I should think that it would
also wilt under Scott Bonus S.

Plain household vinegar would kill either of them, but it also stresses
the grass. The grass will come back while the weed does not.
(Try to place the vinegar right on the leaves.)

No it isn't. It's not even the same genus.

Definitely not clover, even though it has a clover shaped leaf. Correctly
identified as Oxalis / Wood Sorrel by Jim Elbrecht in this thread.
