I had a Ruger that acted similarly when feeding the first round. The floorplate in the magazine was catching on burrs at the rear of the mag box causing the first round to exit the magazine at too steep an angle, the second round would get forced forward onto the ramp and jam the two rounds. This rifle was glass-bedded into a synthetic stock and was a bit tight in the mag area, I relieved some of the epoxy at the rear of the mag and also filed the rear of the floor plate ( there was a sharp upper edge ) just enough to get a nice slightly rounded edge. After that I never had a feeding issue. As to the extraction issue I have to agree with Sean about a worn or cracked extractor, or perhaps it is bent away from the bolt face just enough to prevent it from gripping some brass. Hope that helps!
