Number 2 is true in NFHS and NCAA, so no reason to suppose it would not be true at the NFL level, unless someone brings up a citation from the NFL rulebook saying otherwise.
Holding is a spot foul, with a 10 yard penalty, so where the hold took place matters. The only exception is that holds behind the neutral zone are enforced from the previous spot.

He said face mask by the offense in the OP.
To address the post above mine, if a face mask penalty is accepted against either team, we replay the down.
