Providing your doing Permitted Work (PW) does not conflict with your stated limitations on your last ESA50 then there should be no problem with you doing PW and it should not cause an early re-assessment of your claim.
You do need to inform the DWP that you are intending to do PW and they will need to confirm that the work you intend to do meets their requirements for acceptability. There is a guide to PW in the ESA section.

The issues are substantially the same for DLA, there is no specific requirement for you to tell the DLA Unit that you are starting work, but it may not be to your advantage if you do not and the DWP decide there is an issue. Also, if the DWP do decide to re-assess you because of your starting work and you are in an active PIP postcode you will be invited to claim PIP.
