    Hard to know exactly what the problem is from the pictures, but sometimes Onshape will assume a constraint while you're sketching that you might miss. Try showing all constraints to see if there is anything extra in there. As for the Pierce, you want to select the virtual sharp of the conic, and a line in Sketch 1.
