i think this applies to both of your problems:

when transplanting a module, the module must have a corresponding hook function defined.

 

If you just want to replicate one hooks functionality, you simply can add to the module class something like this:

public function hookNewHookName() {
$this->hookExistingHookFunction();
}

Although you should be careful about editing core modules files, because it will be overrriden when updated. So read about overriding core modules here:

if we override module file with new hook funciton that doesnt exist in original file - it will not work

override mechanism for module .php files still doesnt work well
