The live ball appeal is a good point, but the offered scenario specifically noted the ball was dead.

Also if they do make it back to first safely during the live ball, that is the base they are going to get.
No, I don't believe this is so as if the runner is protected to a certain base due to the OBS, they will (or, at least, should) still receive that base once the play is over.
