Up against the wall means, in the first case, that you can’t be pushed back any further — there is a wall there. It is figurative, though.
In the second case, it is a sexual thing, I think. Physically being pushed against the wall in passion with the naughty touching and all that.

A cop would cry out to someone he’s chased and caught, “Up against the wall.”
Hence, to be up against the wall is to be cornered, stymied, outdone, with no freedom of movement

You got me without any escape, with no choices… like been between a sword and the wall.
