Answer 1

I managed to fix my issue, which was due to a number of factors.

I had improperly configured ChannelIDs when generating the genesis block and default channel. Both commands were using the "default" channelID which caused issues

I was also accidentally joining the peer to the genesis channel instead of the default.

Finally I was using the wrong root-cert file when using TLS for communication.
