Yes, if no other player had an opportunity to make an out, the ball remains lives.

If it becomes a dead ball when R1 was hit with the tipped ball, or since I created a dead ball, can I put R1 on 3B, since he obviously would have made it there safely?

If you are intent on making the correction, yes.

Now that I've thought more about it, the play is just the same as if a fielder misplayed any hit ball, and after touching the ball, an offensive player then unintentionally contacts the misplayed ball. That would be a live ball in play. So I should have not stopped play, nor called an out. What prompted me to do so was that the ball was hit as a line drive and the tipped ball was still smoking when it hit R1. I'll chalk this one up to experience.
Thanks.
