Q: Which MagSafe Power Adapter?

I have a MacBook Pro 5.4, 15" screen, purchased in 2009 I think. It came w. a 60W MagSafe Power Adapter. I want to purchase a 2nd power adapter for my alternate work site. I see that an 85W MagSafe is being specified for the 15" PowerBook Pro. Is the 60W one I have all right to use, and should I buy the second one as an 85W?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

What about using the 85W Mag Safe 2 Power Adapter (used on MacBook Pro) for my MacBook Air which comes with a 45W Mag Safe 2 Power Adapter? Is there a problem with that?
