Don't know the exact models, but the first ones looks like Sea Sparrow on a Nimiz maybe? Second one maybe RAM?

Maybe this is a really stupid question, but can VLS be reloaded at sea, or do ships have to come back to port to have them reloaded? Same question with the harpon launchers.

No they cannot be reloaded at sea. The ship needs to be inport. The reloading is not that difficult.
