OK, here's a shot using FED in all cases.
1) It's definitely a safety if the foul is accepted. I'm going to go with a safety if the foul is declined as well with the logic that it was an illegal forward pass and since the run ended there, that's where the next play would normally take place, which would also result in a safety. I didn't check the rule book on this one as I'm trying to answer these questions as if it happened on the field and I needed to make a snap decision.
2) No foul. The ineligible player becomes eligible when the B player touches the ball. So, when the ball finally crosses the NZ all down-field players are eligible, no matter how many there are.
3a) TD
3b) I say it's still a TD
3c) Forward progress applies, ball at the 20.
