Yes. You showed both ways of grabbing. Either is easily broken and neither protects you from being seriously wounded (unless the attacker is the someone who trained with you, I suppose...).
Mochizuki Sensei never performed techniques by letting uke hold onto his wrist. Whenever grabbed, his response was always to break uke's grip and re-grasp uke with a twisting grip to turn the arm one way or the other for a technique.
And grabbing the hand that's drawing the sword really could only buy you an instant (less than a second) before the slicing and dicing would commence.
