I'll go over this as many times as you want, no problem.
The Laws can be very vague and mysterious. A penalty kick is not completed until the ball stops or crosses the goal line (or I assume the touchline if the kicker is such a bad shot), either under the crossbar and between the posts, or just over the goal line. If you had blow the whistle before any of these things had happened then the kick is not completed and must be retaken. No matter the reason why the whistle had been blown.
If the ball had been kicked, then deflected of the crossbar or post, hit the ground and then hit the keeper and went in, it would be a good goal and should be allowed per explaination above.
If the ball deflected of the crossbar or post and bounced back 5 yards the kick could be considered completed because this kick was taken in extended time and no one else can play the ball, the kicker would not be able to play the twice (even if the ball touched the keeper, because it is extended time) and most likely the keeper would not put the ball into his own net (hopefully). A fwe seconds hesitation wouldn't hurt before blowing the whistle.
Although your send off was correct and if happened as described, serious foul play would be the correct reason. However, remember that the kick is in extended time and that no other player including the kicker may touch the ball after the ball is kicked, (excluding the keeper of course). So the defender had no business being there in the first place, so what would be his "intent"? To stop the kicker from playing the ball. So in a way he was guilty of unsporting behaviour, you could caution him also if you wanted. This wouldn't sell easily. Next time in extended time move all players behind the top of the penalty area and explain that no one else may touch the ball after it is kicked because time has ended.
