The awarding of the ball at the spot of 1st touching was correct, however your terminology was incorrect.
You awarded R the ball at the "spot of first touching" (bean bag, no flag). There was not a penalty on this play, therefore there can be no re kick, even if R wishes a re- kick. Remember once a free kick travels 10 yards and grounds it is a free ball, or is touched by R it is a free ball. The fact that K touched the grounded ball before it traveled 10 yards is not a penalty, it is the spot of first touching.
Now to your questions:
Question 1: You were correct in awarding the ball to R at the spot of 1st touching, again not illegal touching
Question 2: This is the spot of 1st touching, R cannot request a re-kick since there wasn't a penalty to give them a choice of options, (bean bag-no flag)
Question 3: The options for a free kick out of bounds untouched by R, are as follows:
a) R may take the ball 25 yards in advance of the previous spot (not necessarily at the 35 yard line)
b) R's ball at the inbounds spot
c) K rekicks after a 5 yd penalty from the previous spot.
I hope this helps, welcome to the ranks, have fun and enjoy.
