Manhattan says the following are correct:
S-1: They wanted TO increase awareness, spark interest and motivate purchases.

Answer to Q1:
You can write S1 this way also: They wanted TO increase awareness, TO spark interest and TO motivate purchases.
Either you can distribute TO to every single item in the list or just place just before the first item so that it applies to every single item.

Answer to Q2:
She argues that the agency acts WITH reckless abandon and disregard for human life - I am not very sure, it may be incorrect because both 'reckless abandon' and 'resregard for human life' can not be treated as single entity.
