Regarding the first one, you're in luck.  This character already exists:
U+034F COMBINING GRAPHEME JOINER.  For more information, see:

http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr28/#13_2_layout_controls

Regarding the second one, I really don't know why you would need a way
to indicate that adjacent characters do *not* form a digraph.  What text
process would assume incorrectly that they do, and what inappropriate
handling of the text would result from that assumption?  Your message
proposes such a character but doesn't explain what it would be used for.
