Answer 1

I didn't see a photo of the white round on leaf undersides. If it is insects, it could be aphids, scale, or spider mites. If it is white spots, it could be a fungal infection such as powdery mildew.

For spider mites, they are attracted to water stressed plants. Keep plants healthy to ward off spider mites and occasionally spray the leaves with water. Ants like dry spots too, so keep plants well watered.
