Answer 1

you dont need to check if position is empty while you checking numbers in field list .

you dont need to check position = FIND_IN_SET.... . it will return the value where 1 is in position.

you need to do it like that:

 SELECT `id` 
 FROM  `table` 
 WHERE `status`=1
 AND  FIND_IN_SET( 1,  `position` ) 
 OR   FIND_IN_SET( 2,  `position` )
