Suppose we have the following statements:
- Proposition $p$: The curve $y = x^2 + 2x + 2t - 4$ does not intersect with the x-axis;
- Proposition $q$: The equation $\frac{x^2}{4-t}+\frac{y^2}{t-2}=1$ represents an ellipse with foci on the x-axis.
  1. If proposition $p$ is true, determine the range of values for the real number $t$;
  2. If the statement "$p \lor q$" is true and "$p \land q$" is false, find the range of values for the real number $t$.
