2) R1 must be tagged. She has "achieved" 1st base for tag-up purposes, as she has "passed" the bag.
Think of it literally like the orange bag is dirt. So in this case, R1 returns to first and steps OVER (or around) it when returning. She's not out if the ball comes into first base now and F3 touches the bag - she must be tagged and would be out for being tagged while off the base.
