I agree MrILTA
Prenolepis imparis and a lone Formica biophilica.

(I'll move the other image, with two of the latter, to that species.)

No.
Maybe false honey ants or something, but not Crematogaster. I see a couple of carpenter ants as well (Camponotus sp.).

The small black ones with poi
The small black ones with pointed abdomens are Prenolepis imparis, the larger red one looks like a Formica but I really can not tell which.
