I wish I had my copy of Yookoso! vol. 1. It explains Q-word +demo, +mo, +ka and the different usages.

I know instinctively how to use them now, but I can't explain it. But if you have a library with Yookoso in it, look it up.

Edit Aha! Yookoso! Summary Japanese Class/Course Notes
There's someone's notes they took from the Yookoso! book. The yookoso.com website is actually unrelated.

However, in your specific context, I read the first as meaning "nevermind" and the latter as "there is nothing" or "there are none."
