I lost the bottom portion of my H1-B approval form (I-797) which has the I-94 and the employee Information.

I am planning to travel to India Next week. I am going for Stamp for the first time for my H-1B. 

1) Do I need the original I-94 to turn in at the port of exit while leaving the country or when entering the country? 

2) Do I need the original I-94 for H1B stamping? I have the original Top portion of the I-797-A approval notice.

1- no. 

2- no.

i94 and its importance only exists when you are in US. When you are not in US, i94 doesn't matter much. You don't have to handover i94 to anyone while departing. US doesn't do immigration check while exiting. For stamping , you only need i797 and most of the times a copy will work unless consulate can't find your petition in their system.
