I agree with Anne I do think you need a more nurturing approach to the younger child. The kids are at different stages and the older one seems to be the instigator from.the information you have given. Continue as you are with the 10 year old.

With the younger boy I would start with pull-ups at night. its a new rule, explain you have new sheets and would like him to wear it just in case To protect them.
I don't know how often you have custody but the first step is drilling into him the routine, bath time, followed by pull-ups.

He won't use them at first and that's okay. It's just gently getting him compliant, pull-ups "just in case".

Then invest in a sleeper, one he will find difficult to remove, the goal is to have him need to come and tell you when he has to "go potty". It will mean for a few nights before he goes to bed and in the night you'll be woken to take him. Then you can start having him wait until you are "not busy" to take him. Tell him to wait until morning if you are woken at night. At this point you can switch from pull-ups to diapers and extend the amount of time he is in the sleeper, a few hours before bed and after he wakes up.

Very slow.
