It sort of looks like you’re over rotating the 180, spin a little less and try to keep your body square once you land in fakie to maintain good control. Perhaps practicing fakies by using banks, quarters or even walls will help get you used to the feeling of rolling backwards. Reverting was the hard part for me.
As for the manuals, you’re on the right track as in everything in your form looks relatively fine. Just like 180’s try to keep yourself square with your bike, let your arms do some of the work to balance yourself out. It helps having a target to manual to, I.e into a bank or even parking spaces to set distance goals for yourself.
Both tricks were a nightmare for me when I started out but like most things, practice, practice and more practice. Your body will start to develop muscle memory on what/what not to do.

I used to be really bad at fakies so I would just fakie far as possible over and over. Just practice and it will come.
