1 - About Kokyu nage:
I've come across multiple definitions of this technique:
~ the thousand throws
~to throw without holding(?) / locking(?) an opponent's wrists
Does this mean, that any throw, as long as you dont grab any of the uke's bodyparts ~ classifies as a kokyu nage?

I cannot comment on the first definition, but the second and your summary are how I am being taught and exactly what I understand kokyu nage to be; no grab/grip from nage = kokyu nage.
I was just about to say that irimi nage should then be called a kokyu nage, but there is the back hand on uke's neck.

2 - There is this technique, where in the nage will duck down as the uke uses high attacks such as shomen uchi. Upon ducking, the uke's force will cause him to trip over the nage.
What is this technique called again? Is it just another variation of Kokyu nage?

Until someone reveals more descriptive name for the waza (rei nage?), I would also call that kokyu nage.
