For question 1, if you quote it and say where it came from, it is not cheating.

The same for number 2. If you quote your friend and cite it, it's ok. However, if someone does the work for you and you turn it in pretending it's yours, it is cheating. It doesn't matter if they have given you permission to use their work.
