Not smoke trail, just water vapour reaction in stratosphere. One caused by the missile and the other caused by the F-22 that was flying.

The long trail is the Raptor's condensation trail and the smaller smoke trail was the Sidewinder's rocket motor firing.

niether did I
The AIM-9X sidewinder missile they used damages the target with metal fragments. The balloon only needs to be hit with a few fragments to pop it.
