45 mins for a Schengen to Non-Schengen transfer at Frankfurt seems very tight to me, too. It's OK and doable if the first flight is on time, you get a terminal position at FRA and can deboard quickly. Still, you'll have to go through passport and security controls.

What happens if you miss a connecting flight because of a delay?

Two hours should be more than enough, but the actual connection time will depend on how quickly you get off the first flight and how long it takes to get through Passport control. If there are a lot of flights arriving at the same time, only a few agents working and you're at the back of the line, it could take awhile.
