I agree with your sentiment in general. However, I will note that the second question only makes sense for non-biological, dualistic notions of consciousness. If consciousness is taken to be a function or phenomenon happening in my brain&body, then there is no question to ask. It would be like asking 'why am I digesting my food and not yours'.
I think the first question does make sense. By the same analogy, asking what is digestion precisely and how the stomach digests food is perfectly sensible.
I would also note that the second question can make sense, but only if you believe consciousness is not strictly tied to the brain and body.
