Être attentif works just fine for your first example.
For your second example, faire attention works better.
Être attentif implies attention to something in the sense of concentration, thought, attention to detail, etc. Faire attention is more in the sense of having to be careful, prudent. |

You can also use the word "distrait" which is the opposite of "attentif"
For the second example, you can use the word "vigilant" which is much stronger than "attentif".
