Most likely both problems have to do with an incorrect setting of the
parameter remote_login_passwordfile.
If you want to be able use sysdba for sys the parameter needs to be set to
shared.
If you want to be able to grant sysdba to any user it needs to be set to
exclusive.
You can change the parameter by modifying (or adding) it in
%ORACLE_HOME%\database\init%ORACLE_SID%.ora
Please note : sysdba is a very powerful privilege, I would use sysoper for 'normal' cases. sysoper can do anything except creating a database.
