Answer 1

-- EXPLAIN ANALYZE
WITH two AS (
    SELECT c0.student_id
    FROM tmp.student_club c0
    , tmp.student_club c1
    WHERE c0.student_id = c1.student_id
    AND c0.club_id = 30
    AND c1.club_id = 50
    )
SELECT st.* FROM tmp.student st
JOIN two ON (two.student_id=st.id)
    ;

The query plan:

 Hash Join  (cost=1904.76..1919.09 rows=337 width=15) (actual time=6.937..8.771 rows=324 loops=1)
   Hash Cond: (two.student_id = st.id)
   CTE two
     ->  Hash Join  (cost=849.97..1645.76 rows=337 width=4) (actual time=4.932..6.488 rows=324 loops=1)
           Hash Cond: (c1.student_id = c0.student_id)
           ->  Bitmap Heap Scan on student_club c1  (cost=32.76..796.94 rows=1614 width=4) (actual time=0.667..1.835 rows=1646 loops=1)

                       Index Cond: (club_id = 50)
           ->  Hash  (cost=797.00..797.00 rows=1617 width=4) (actual time=4.203..4.203 rows=1620 loops=1)
                 Buckets: 1024  Batches: 1  Memory Usage: 57kB
                 ->  Bitmap Heap Scan on student_club c0  (cost=32.79..797.00 rows=1617 width=4) (actual time=0.663..3.596 rows=1620 loops=1)                   
                       Recheck Cond: (club_id = 30)
                       ->  Bitmap Index Scan on sc_club_id_idx  (cost=0.00..32.38 rows=1617 width=0) (actual time=0.469..0.469 rows=1620 loops=1)
                             Index Cond: (club_id = 30)
   ->  CTE Scan on two  (cost=0.00..6.74 rows=337 width=4) (actual time=4.935..6.591 rows=324 loops=1)
   ->  Hash  (cost=159.00..159.00 rows=8000 width=15) (actual time=1.979..1.979 rows=8000 loops=1)
         Buckets: 1024  Batches: 1  Memory Usage: 374kB
         ->  Seq Scan on student st  (cost=0.00..159.00 rows=8000 width=15) (actual time=0.093..0.759 rows=8000 loops=1)
 Total runtime: 8.989 ms
(20 rows)

So it still seems to want the seq scan on student.
