Regarding Inputfile 1, keep in mind that you might have to increase the 
precision of the atomic positions as described in the post at the 
following link:

Regarding Inputfile 2, it seems like you can get XCrySDen to show the 
same structure as Inputfile 1 if you change ibrav from 7 to 6, nat from 
6 to 12, and add the atomic positions for the other 6 atoms (for a total 
of 12 atoms) in Inputfile 2.  Refer to the anatase.in file attached at 
the bottom of the post at the following link:
