MJT - B now has the ball in his own endzone so force is not a factor. If A accepts the foul by B (which they will) you need to enforce from the end of B's run which is in the endzone. It's a foul during a running play by B. The basic spot is the end of the run which is the endzone, hence a safety (in the situation I provided).
Now back to the original questions....in both 1a and 1b I'd enforce the facemask foul from the goal line...again since the run ended there.
The bleeding player may participate in the next down as well.
In the rulings I've laid out I was told this was changing but I haven't seen anything on this yet. Frankly, I have a difficult time calling a play a safety (in the situation I laid out) because the foul didn't occur in the endzone nor did the ball become dead there.
