Re: odd trill

The F-Gb one is correct if the trill on F has a flat above it.

Without knowing the context, the Gb trill is either a Gb to G natural or maybe Gb to Ab (see if there's an Ab in the same bar preceding the trill) as trills aren't any wider than a whole tone.

Any rapidly alternating notes with an interval from a minor 3rd or more is a tremolo and they'd be written out specifying both notes rather than noted as a trill (with or without the accidental above it).

The Fb trill with a natural is most likely an Fb to F natural trill (enharmonically speaking, E to F) as an Fb (E natural) to G is a tremolo being a minor 3rd.
