1) I'm pretty sure Bella couldn't shield the pain from both Edward and James' venom because those weren't mental offenses. The burning was actual, physical pain. It's not like with Jane's power when your mind makes you think you're in pain; with the venom, you really are in pain. My explanation sounds a little fishy, but I can only think of a time when got a biopsy done about a year ago, and I forgot what was injected into me, but it burned like a bitch, and I know that certainly wasn't an illusion. Maybe venom is the same way, but way worse.

2) I like to think that Bella didn't really look that deep in her suitcase past the lingerie. In BD-1, I was pretty sure I could see a pair of jeans in there. Bella probably wasn't that aware of the other items in her bag, because she was so freaked out by the lingerie (even though it was later stated that the bikinis were just as skimpy). And Edward doesn't have to breathe, but Rob does. He couldn't help it.

I hope those helped.
