assalamu alaikum wa rahmatallahi wa barakatuh
respected scholar, i am about to ask you a question that might seem a bit wierd but i need to know the answer.

during salaah, if the imam recites a sura that we do not know, what should we do... should we follow along even though we don't know the sura, or should we recite an easier sura by ourselves that we do know

secondly, if the imam by mistake recites the same surah after surah al fathiha for two rakaats, what should we do. is it permissible to recite the same sura twice during namaaz
jazakamullah khair
