About Lie group $G$ has this escape property?

Every Lie group $G$ has the following escape property: For every $x \ne e$ in a sufficiently small neighborhood $U$ of the identity $e$ in $G$, there is a integer $n$ such that $x^n$ is not in $U$.

The $\textbf{Question one }:$ is if we can find a sufficiently small neighborhood $V$ of $e$ in $G$, for any two different points $a,b \in V$ , there is a integer $m$ such that $a^m(b^{-1})^m$ is not in $V$.


Thanks for Scholar's answer about the above question

If $G$ is a commutative group the question actually has a positive answer, since $G$ has the escape property. I guess it is true for some larger class of Lie groups. The problem is to state that the power mapping can enlarge the distance between two different points. But I didn't find a good property of power mapping by looking up data.

meanwhile,Thanks Michael Albanese for editing of the question.
