Now there are two runners on 2nd base. Instead of just going to third and tagging the base, shortstop goes to 2nd and tags both runners. Out #3.
Is this still considered a force, regardless of who SS tagged first? Run doesn't count?

Yes.
Tagging R1 would not result in an out since he was on the base he was legally forced to advance to.
