1. They are both the same, and in conversation, you would probably hear either one about as often.
2. It means, we took care to make sure that he would not find out, we did whatever we could to keep him from discovering what we were hiding from him. No special connotation of being worried or serious, usually. That would depend on the context.
Hope this helps.
