Neither lens will do better in so-so lighting than your 18-55... which has VR to help you. Both primes do not have that. And shooting wide open will not be an option, as you probably have little use for the resulting shallow depth of focus.
Seems to me that a tripod is a better idea to invest in first.
About those two lenses: I am not too impressed with the 35mm f1.8, as I find its bokeh to be quite bad. The 40mm macro seems to me to be a very nice lens, it renders things beautifully.
