For the first inequality, it follows from Aravind's claim that $\sum_i a_i^{\alpha_i}$ is not less than arithmetic mean of $b_1,\ldots,b_n$, where $b_i=\sum_j a_i^{\alpha_j}$. Thus not less than geometric mean too.

The second inequality looks false by trivial reasons: if $a_n=0$ and all $\alpha_i$'s are positive, RHS equals 0 while LHS not necessary.
