Answer 1

Just add a semicolon between both statements, like this:

{
  "script": {
    "inline": "ctx._source.student.hobbies.add(params.hobby); ctx._source.student.phone.add(params.phone)",
    "lang": "painless",
    "params": {
      "hobby": "cricket",
      "phone" : "122-33-4567"
    }
  }
}

If you have more than one value to add to an array, you can do it like this

{
  "script": {
    "inline": "ctx._source.student.hobbies.addAll(params.hobbies); ctx._source.student.phone.add(params.phone)",
    "lang": "painless",
    "params": {
      "hobbies": ["football", "cricket"],
      "phone" : "122-33-4567"
    }
  }
}
