Use both of your brakes to slow down, and finally pull over.
Focus your gaze up ahead, look as straight as you can. There’s no point in looking at your skidding tire. You can check your mirrors, but the action of skidding itself is warning enough for the other people following you. Unless they are blind, then you’re dead.
And at this point, you really can’t do anything about whatever I’m going to write here. What it will take is some practice and muscle memory.

Going back to your scenario 2, your rear wheel is locked up. Relax, and let your muscles remember what to do.
Look at your side mirrors, and check for possible overtakers behind you.
Two scenarios could happen here.
The chain flies away, and your engine doesn’t have a connection to the rear wheel.

Anyway, depending on your speed you can still control that skid.
On varying speeds, start with 10 km/h. Purposely lock up your rear wheel.
First, relax.
