1.) How can I find out EXACTLY (presumably with with CACLS or ICACLS) all files or folders in a directory tree which have an owner which contains the pattern "aaa"?

2.) How can I find out EXACTLY (presumably with CACLS or ICACLS) all files or folders in a directory tree which have NOT an owner which contains the pattern "aaa"?

I see as owner all entries on the "Security" tab of the Properties page of a file/folder

Since no one seems to know, perhaps if you open an administrative command prompt and type the command followed by /? you can go through the possible switches to see if any of them fit your needs.
