Given the scenarios, I assume there are safety features built into a Pokéball's system, which prevents worst case scenarios from happening.
>1) Pokéballs have a limitation of what they can target and catch. They're able to catch pokemon, but not humans (at least no known cases ?). One could argue it's because pokemon are just special creatures with the Pokéballs tech working on them, but not humans. Yet, we have many examples of inanimate objects - that aren't pokemon - being caught and converted into energy as well. Like clothing (not related to the species, e.g. Machop line) or hold items. We have this anime scene with a Pokéball catching a riceball: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aLD8SGoPIc. If something else than pokemon can be caught with a Pokéball, then what prevents it from catching humans, if not a safety feature?
>2) Pokéballs cannot hold more than one pokemon. If a pokemon is caught, the Pokéball's internal system turns the catching mechanism off. It's interesting to mention that certain pokemon consists of multiple entities (like Slowbro, Magneton, Falinks) grouped together. This would mean a Pokéball is capable of storing multiple distinct entities, as we already mentioned with inanimate objects. Though this is - for whatever reason - limited to specific species whose individuals happen to appear in groups. Perhaps Pokéballs have a limited capacity of how much data they can safely store and transfer, meaning handling additional data of different species and objects could be prone to errors. Which of course should be minimized.
