About the first he was only comforting her (as ZeHaffen as already said), if i remeber correct the reason is because she feels herself disoriented in this new world ; she has all the reasons she is a AI and now she is in world that she doesn't know.

Aniway he has comforted in the same way many girls like Sinon, Leafa and Cardinal so that case isn't different; he only wants to help them but his heart is only of Asuna.

About second in the WB Kirito and Alice are going to Rath's office (i think) on bike where Asuna are waiting them.

Asuna sees Alice embraces Kirito and becomes jelous and so they star to fight and Kirito tries to calm them.

In the light novel i don't know, probabily it is the same but i remember Kawahara on twitter has said that Alice doesn't love Kirito ( he says she has only a 2% of a secret feeling , i doubt we can call that love or even a crush) so i am not sure.

About that i prefer if someone more informed explain that because i'm not sure to say something right.
