Answer 1

Inside your fragment you will have to use setHasOptionsMenu(true); in order to access options menu from within your fragment.

Code (inside your second fragment where you wanna hide the item):

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  setHasOptionsMenu(true);
}

@Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
  // TODO your code to hide item here
  super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);     
}

Similarly, for your fragment where you want to show that MenuItem you can do the similar thing.
