1: If bad links could hurt you, negative SEO would be incredibly effective. Got the #2 spot for your keyword and want to derank #1? Spam him with the worst GSA links you can find. Google obviously doesn't want to allow that, so I strongly believe bad links can't hurt you, they just don't help.
2: both the wordpress sites you linked to could be decent links, they both appear to have unique copy. As long as your link appeared in contextual copy you could pump it up with some social signals and even GSA and it could help

Good point, bad links are probably less of an issue than many perceive them to be. But the issue he was talking about was buying or trading for links, so no reason to buy or trade with links that aren't going to help you out!
The first site that was a LS trade, seems to be ok. Has a 25/24 pa/da 10/14 tf/cf and similar is showing 80% SE traffic as inbound, with kw of cutediana nude, beach massage stranger, mature wife hotel, exhibitionist chat, granny big tits nude in forrest stockings. So if those match up with your site's niche, your good to go on a trade. Make sure he gives you a link in a post, and not on the blogroll that shows up on every page of the blog!
The second site on the other hand, doesn't have any traffic that I can see, no alexa rating, 17/25 pa/da 4/7 for tf/cf with only 20 domains giving backlinks. I'd say you could find better sites to buy blog posts from.

I don't have a login to ahrefs atm so I'm not sure what the current figures say, but last time I looked, around April 2018 they were +- 25% on some of our bigger sites vs what GA has listed. So not a huge amount off, but still it makes you wonder
