The answer

The prayer is valid in both cases if its conditions of validity are met. It is considered performance (ada'an) in the first scenario if what constitutes a prayer is caught before sunrise. As for the second scenario, it is a make-up (qada'), and there is no sin in either case if there was no negligence, due to the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "There is no negligence in sleep; negligence is only on him who has not prayed a prayer until the time for the next prayer comes. So whoever does that, let him pray it when he remembers it," and "Whoever forgets a prayer or sleeps through it, its expiation is to pray it when he remembers it."
