You were correct in one area, but incorrect in another I believe. Casebook 6.2.6 says "Low scrimmage kicks may touch, or be touched by by players or K or R, and such touching is ignored if the kick has not been beyond the "expanded" NZ. Since this was in the expanded NZ the catch by K is fine.
Now 6-3-3 says K may catch or recover, and "advance" if it is in or beyond the "NZ". Since it is in the "expanded NZ," it should have been blown dead when he recovered it.
