Answer 1

Yes, you can simply use the OR(|) operator between the two groups you want to remove, and cancel out the backslashes with a backslash

({\\n  {\\n  {\\n .)|( \\n} \\n} \\n})

in the replace tab, and select the regular expressions search mode

Answer 2

• Ctrl + H
• Find what: {.+?(?=<)|(?<=>)[^<>]+}
• Replace with: LEAVE EMPTY
• CHECK Match case
• CHECK Wrap around
• CHECK Regular expression
• UNCHECK . matches newline . matches newline
• Replace all

Explanation:

  {         # opening brace
  .+?       # 1 or more any character but newline
  (?=<)     # positive lookahead, make sure we have < after
|         # OR
  (?<=>)    # positive lookbehind, make sure we have > before
  [^<>]+    # 1 or more any character that is not < or >
  }         # closing brace
