1. Technically it should not count, but ultimately up to referee's discretion.
2. For a goal kick, when opponent puts ball out of play past the end-line, the ball is dead when placed on the ground. Technically speaking the goalkeeper doesn't actually place the ball on the ground for goal kicks... it's the game rules that set the ball down. This is different if the goalkeeper gets possession of the ball when making a save or collecting the ball. In this situation, since the ball is never actually dead, the first action by the goalkeeper (including placing the ball down to kick it) means it is "in play." That being said, I've experienced some variable enforcement of these rules.
