Rules Questions

I'd be very happy if someone could clarify these rules for me.
1 - Can I Push my opponent's piece away from a trap square making my own piece get into it and die?
2 - Can I Pull my opponent's piece moving my own piece to a unguarded trap square, sacrificing it?
I think the answers are 1 - yes and 2 - no, but I'd like confirmation. My reasons:
In the first case, you move your opponent's piece first and only then get killed.
In the second case, you must first move your own piece, killing it, and after that there's no piece left to pull your opponent's one.
Thx in advance and pardon my English.

The answer to your questions are "Yes" and "Yes". Even though the pieces move one at a time, pushes and pulls are considered to be "simultaneous" actions.
You can try both scenarios for fun against some of the weaker bots in the gameroom if you want to see first-hand proof

Thx Adanac. The simultaneous thing makes much more sense.
