If UIC ruled no catch on 3rd strike then BR is free to go to 1B if he has not entered the dugout and if runner on 2B is ignored and crossed the plate then he scores. You did not say what happened to runner on 2B so can't comment on your questions regarding him. I can only assume he scored. The defensive coach was wrong to tell his players to ignore what was going on.
What I don't understand is that the UIC ruled as you say, why the game was not continued with R1 on 1B and two outs, with tie score.

Runner on 2b left the field assuming the games' end, as did all defensive players, etc. It was as the teams were about to shake hands that BR grabbed a helmet and began to run the bases. No one else took the field.
The protest was logged and the visitor teams' manager was instructed to "stick around". A committee ruled to restart game later as a game was scheduled to start immediately following the protested game in question.

Runner on 2b left the field. Game over. Error on the committee.
