Re: non work sexual harassment
Probably not, unless the harasser is your supervisor and/or the conduct continues on into the workplace. On-job discrimination/harassment is illegal, not private conduct unless it amounts to assault and battery which is criminal. You can make a formal and factual complaint to the employer to ensure they are aware of it.

Probably not. Unless, supervisor harasser and/or company set up the gathering. Call to discuss other issues
