Which of the following expressions is meaningful?

Let $\vec{a} = (a_1\hat{i} + a_2\hat{j} + a_3\hat{k})$, $\vec{b} = (b_1\hat{i} + b_2\hat{j} + b_3\hat{k})$, and $\vec{c} = (c_1\hat{i} + c_2\hat{j} + c_3\hat{k})$ be three non-zero vectors such that $\vec{a}$ is a unit vector perpendicular to both $\vec{b}$ and $\vec{c}$. If the angle between $\vec{b}$ and $\vec{c}$ is $\frac{\pi}{3}$, then find the value of $\left| \begin{matrix} a_1 & a_2 & a_3 \\ b_1 & b_2 & b_3 \\ c_1 & c_2 & c_3 \end{matrix} \right|^2$.

Let $\vec{a} = 2\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} - \hat{k}$ and $\vec{b} = \hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}$. For what value of $\lambda$ is the vector $\vec{c} = \lambda\hat{i} + \hat{j} + (2\lambda - 1)\hat{k}$ parallel to the plane containing $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$?
