Well,
"If the umpire fails to say "infield fly" and the ball is dropped, does OBR handle the resulting play differently than FED?"
No, it is still considered an IFF.
"If, for example, the runners ran when the ball hit and a runner was tagged out, how is it handled in each?"
It is handled exactly the same as if the umpire had called "IFF" and all pertaining rules are the same.
"My understanding is that the failure by the umpire to call it does not mean its not in effect and that any outs resulting from the BR running to the next base stand.
Is that true?"
Asked and answered, your honor.
"Both FED and OBR?"
And as in my initial answer, yes.
