Q: When a Star Eater you control declares a direct attack, the opponent activates the effect of Swift Scarecrow.
In this case, how does the effect resolve?
A: In the proposed scenario, the Star Eater that declared an attack is not affected by the effect of the opponent’s Swift Scarecrow.
Therefore, since the attack cannot be negated by the effect of Swift Scarecrow, the part of the effect that ends the Battle Phase is not applied either. (The attack is performed normally.)

Q: During the Draw Phase, the effect of Rank-Up-Magic Astral Force to add itself from the Graveyard to the hand instead of conducting your Normal Draw was activated, and Rank-Up-Magic Astral Force was banished by the effect of D.D. Crow activated in a chain.

A: Even in that case, since the effect was activated instead of performing the Normal Draw, the Normal Draw cannot be performed afterwards.
Also, the restriction on being unable to Special Summon monsters other than by the effect of Rank-Up-Magic Astral Force this turn is still applied.
