I have to agree with Soror AKA_Monet on this. At the point that a wedding is occurring, former relationships should be completely irrelevant. The problem in scenario 1 isn't that something happened between your intended and your best man, the problem is that you never knew about it. Now, the fault can fall on either party:
you if you never thought to ask, or your intended if s/he never fully disclosed all previous entanglements after you asked. If it's the latter, marriage probably isn't the best idea.
In scenario two, I have to repeat that former romantic relationships are irrelevant if you're
marrying the person. You're both committed, and you should have no doubt about that. If the ex and your intended are still friends (i.e. they speak frequently and have mutual friends), then an invitation is only polite, if not expected. If this ex is a person they haven't spoken to in ages... uh, no. I can't imagine not inviting an ex to a wedding... if they are happy for my intended, then by all means, welcome. If they plan on being trifling... well, they'll get shut down.
