Answer 2

There were two battles at Manassas Junction (aka "Battle of Bull Run).

In the first battle on July 21, 1861, Brig. General P.G.T. Beauregard was in command of the Confederate troops that withstood the first assault by Union troops. He was soon reinforced by troops commanded by Brig. General Joseph E. Johnston. Once he arrived with his troops, Johnston was technically the senior military officer although he commanded a smaller force (~12,000 compared to Beauregard's ~20,000). He essentially approved Beauregard's battle plans and allowed him to take the lead.

In the second battle fought August 28-30, 1862 and referred to as Second Mnassas by the Confederacy and Second Battle of Bull Run by the Union, Robert E. Lee was in command of the Confederate forces.

If you mean the first battle in 1861, the Union leader was General Irvin McDowell.
