a. Which MOSFET is the "2nd mosfet"? When you say, the reason is "the internal body diode", are you referring to the internal body diode of the second MOSFET or the first?

b. If one MOSFET's gate is saturated, then both will be saturated. There is nothing preventing reverse current flow when both MOSFET's are 'on'.
