Does the prayer become invalid if the congregant, upon rising from bowing, only says "Sami' Allah" and then completes it with "Rabbana wa laka al-hamd" without performing the prostration of forgetfulness, given that he had missed one rak'ah? And does it become invalid if the congregant recites Al-Fatiha with the Imam, then pauses and recites it again after saying "Amin," without performing the prostration of forgetfulness?

The worshiper (Ma'mum) does not perform the prostration of forgetfulness ( al-Sahw) if he forgets something without his Imam forgetting it. Repeating Al-Fatiha after saying "Ameen" is permissible and does not necessitate the prostration of forgetfulness.
