for ur jumping, could i suggest shortening ur stirrups a hole? it would help u keep ur heel down while still staying off his back, which will help ur leg and over all ur position. (it lets u "squat" on the horse better rather than standing to get off his back)
when i was learning to jump, my coach did soem excersises with me that made me exagerate my upper body position. to do that u think about puting ur shoulders back and sticking ur chest out. and then popping ur butt out, she told the younger kids to think about it like if u were going to fart, u didnt want it to hit the saddle (lol). this helped me to stay closer to the saddle but still hold a nice upper body so i could do my release, but at the same time hold a 2 point.
