The urinary orifice must be washed with water once in order to purify it, and should be washed twice, or even three, times as a recommended precaution. As for the fecal orifice, it can be purified by wiping it once with any object (such as a cloth, tissue paper, or something similar) that will remove the impurity, provided the impurity does not spread beyond the orifice. If the impurity spreads to other parts of the body (i.e., surrounding the orifice) then water must be used to purify.

The hand of a Muslim does not become impure if it touches the hand of someone from the people of the book (i.e., Jews, Christians, Zoroastrians) unless the Muslim knows, even if previously, that their hand has acquired some impurity that can be transferred. As for anyone other than the people of the book (e.g., Hindus, Sikh, others), touching their hands with wetness causes a Muslims hand to become impure (mutanajjis) based on obligatory precaution.

2) If the shoes are made out of natural leather or a mix of natural and artificial parts, and there is no reasonable probability that it is from an animal slaughtered according to Islamic laws, then you must treat it as impure (najis).

The criterion for considering something a first mutanajjis is that it came into contact with the najasah directly. Therefore, in the example you mentioned, the water that came into contact with the blood under your nail is the first mutanajjis. As for the back of your hand, if the water that came into contact with it has not itself contacted a najasah, it is pure. However, if the water came into contact with a najasah, like the blood under the nail (as above), the back of your hand would then be a second mutanajjis.
