Edit: I figured out first problem... I was missing + pi/2 in the equation but still a little screwed up on second problem :

Check your answer for $\omega t = 90$ degrees and see if your signs are correct. Note: Positive $\omega$ means it rotates counter-clockwise!

$$\theta (t)=\theta(0)+\omega_{0}t+\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^{2}$$
$$\omega (t)=\omega(0)+\alpha t$$

That's all u have to use...Properly.Pay attention to signs & initial conditions...

OK.
Not clear what you did. Use $\omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha t$; be sure to use proper units for $\omega$.
