8/10. I've read/heard nothing by either of these except JJ's love letters, The Dead and the first chapter of Ulysses.

Anyone who's read his love letters could spot that "mellow, smellow"-line right away.

I've never read neither of them, except Ulysses, all answers based on intuitive assumption: on how they look, their wording and the overall theme of each quote.

Same, though I've only read Dubliners, Portrait, and the first 3 sections of Ulysses.

Wrongly guessed the first one was Joyce because of the religious connotations and the quote from FW, likely because I've not read FW.
