For both I'd say "yes".

Colour contrast is between the background and the text, so background
videos are covered the same way a background image would be.

For play/pause buttons, the video is a distraction so the user should be
able to stop the video. It'd be good to set a cookie or something if the
user pauses the background video so as they're navigating the site they
don't have to stop it on every page.
