Higgs and dark matter: maybe, maybe not. Dark matter particles need not necessarily get their mass from the higgs e.g.,
Yet, it is plausible that it does get some of it from there and interacts with the Higgs particle. In some models it is directly tied to the higgs, where there are additional stable higgs bosons which form the dark matter.
Higgs and dark energy: probably. Theory suggests that among many other things, the higgs field contributes to dark energy. The real question is why there isn't much *more* dark energy. Naive calculations give 40-120 orders of magnitude too much dark energy.
