Those are different.

And these are the same:
VictorB пишет: 28 дек 2020, 02:06 put ...up to: One of the older boys must have put him up to it.
put sb up to sth: ‘Did Shirley put you up to this?’ ‘No, it was my own idea.’
There's one more applause-related that seems to belong on List Two:
https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/bring+back+out
bring (someone) back out
To prompt someone, typically a performer, to return to the stage for further applause or accolades.
The cheers of the adoring crowd brought the Broadway star back out multiple times.

[for an applauding audience] to succeed in bringing a performer back onto the stage for a curtain call or encore.
They brought her back out about seven times, cheering and applauding. She was brought back out repeatedly for curtain calls.

The last word of the idiom looks like another adverbial particle rather than a preposition, though.

Yety пишет: 28 дек 2020, 09:23 The last word of the idiom [bring someone back out] looks like another adverbial particle rather than a preposition,
which should make it a separable phrasal verb, although I can't find a relevant example besides the literal usage as in "Bring back out the wellies and umbrella!"

A cool one that goes on either list depending on its two different meanings, with the third slang euphemistic meaning to be included in L2:

get off with (something)
L1
1. To be acquitted of or escape punishment for some crime by incurring a lesser sentence or punishment instead.
Despite damning video evidence, the suspect got off with a misdemeanor, serving no time in jail.
The wealthy actress got off with just a $3,000 fine.

L2
2. To cause or allow someone to be acquitted of or escape punishment for a crime by having them incur a lesser sentence or punishment instead. In this usage, a noun or pronoun is used between "get" and "off."
Everyone thought the CEO was heading to jail, but his slick lawyer got him off with a small fine and six weeks of probation.
Thankfully, my attorney was able to get me off with rehab.


L2
get it off with someone
Sl. to have sexual intercourse with someone.
She said she wanted to get it off with him. She said all he wanted was to get it off with just anybody.
