1) As soon as it is clear to the PU that the offense has completed its intended running responsibilities, he/she can accept a dead ball appeal. Only an umpires unsure of protocol would require the next batter in the box, a "Play" call, then hear the appeal.

2) I would start at home with the runner from 3B missing that base, then in reverse order, to preserve the force outs. However, since none actually advanced home, you still have missed bases, that absent a force, would still get you 3 outs without a run scoring. Remember, this is only valid in classifications that don't exempt running bases after home runs.
