Well I just reread Vineland and the news is still bad...

Two examples, imo: The Sportswriter and Independence Day by Richard Ford.

Hot Rats, The Grand Wazoo, and Waka Jawaka, by Frank Zappa.

<<i think Pynchon alludes to this in his SL intro about buying his former self a beer, etc. 
 
the only examples I can think of about point #2 is godfather and godfather pt. 2, french connection and french connection 2>> 
Mad Max and Mad Max 2 (though not 3 obviously). 
A Fist full of Dollars, For a few Dollars More and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. 
 
Obvious selections but I believe they meet the criteria.
