On both of these examples you only bend the notes on the G string. You hold the B string stationary.

You only bend the 17th fret up while you hold the 15th fret stationary at the same time.

Same with the next notes. Bend the 13th fret, hold the 11th fret stationary. On this one you also bring the 13th fret back down then bend up again. The vibrato indication could be due to the extra bending, or it could be due to vibrato bar use. You'll have to listen, refer to the music to know.
