Few Scenarios i'd like to get clear
All under Federation rules
Play #1
A20 runs the ball on a sweep (they are on their own 40). Approx. 10 yards down field, B35 grabs his face mask briefly for a 5 yard flag (which the official throws), A20 breaks through B35's attempt at making the tackle and fumbles the ball (50 yard line). B35 grabs the loose ball and his tackled (A's 45 yard line). Call?

Penalize from the end of the associated run. 5 yards from the 50 to B45 yard line if A accepts the penalty.

If you have a 15 yd penalty (say, a block in the back) on B while A is at the B 20 yard line (where the play ends), do you go half the distance or go 15 yards. If you go half the distance, what yardline would A need to be at to go the full 15?

All yardage mark-offs can't move the ball more than half the distance to the goal line. For a 15 yard penalty to be fully marked off the foul must occur at the 30 or further out.

You have a missed field goal by A at B's 15yd line. Does B retain possesion at the previous spot or does the ball get spotted at another spot?

A field goal kick is what we call a scrimmage kick. This is the same thing rules wise as a punt except it can score. If the ball breaks the plane of the goal and doesn't score it is a touchback. If it stays in the field-of-play then it can be returned or downed just like a punt.
