3 man I do not reach across the lane, heck even 2 man I don't like to reach across the lane. What kind of foul was it that you saw and the C could not see?

2. I am T and the ball is low on the same side-near the second position on the lane line. Not much happening in my zone. I see a foul on the shot. I am inclined to not call it as it is definitely L's zone-but the foul came from the back/side of the player and L might have been straightlined and missed it. I (probably) got the best look at it. Call it or hold your whistle as I shouldn't have been looking there anyway?

Again, what did you see that the L could not? If it's legitimate and obvious take it. If it's a drive that came out of your area take it. Otherwise...I dunno, maybe it's a strong push in the back on the shot?

3. I am T. Foul near the free throw line. A couple feet past the halfway point and definitely in C's zone-but only a few feet. I waited a second to give my P a chance then called it. Player complains about late whistle. C backed me up and says good call. Ignore the player, warn them, or T?

I can see grabbing this if you got something the C missed. As far as the player...T for what? warning for what? Ignore or use your considerable people skills to get the player on your side - (quietly man to man) "Late? I got it right didn't I?!" is almost always answered by "yeah it was right but..." and you get him focussed on the *yeah* part until he disconnects from the *but* part.
