Let $V$ be a Banach space and $B(V)$ be the bounded operators on $V$. Now, the space $B(V)$ has a norm, the strong topology (which is the topology of pointwise convergence) and it has a stronger topology called ultrastrong or $\sigma$-strong topology. It is known that these two topologies coincide on norm-bounded sets. I want to know if the $\sigma$-strong topology is the strongest topology which coincides with the strong topology (respectively itself) on bounded sets.

Edit:
The $\sigma$-strong topology is a topology generated by certain seminorms. Namely for all sequences $b_n$ with $\sum_n \|b_n\|^2<\infty$, the seminorm 
$B(V)\times B(V) \to \mathbf{R}$
given by the square root of $(f,g)\mapsto \sum_n \|f(b_n)-g(b_n)\|^2$ should be continuous and these seminorms generate the topology.


Edit:
The answer seems to be "no" for this general case. I have no example though.
To simplify this question, I removed a second part. Thank you for the helpful comments on both parts.
