In your first example, intervening play notwithstanding, you don't have a stoppage of play. So, it's all one play. Put the blonde back on 1B. We're not supposed to penalize them for doing something stupid. Should probably also smack the first base coach for being just about as involved in the game as R2 - assume the blonde coach is R2's kin?
In your second example, BR was not affected by the obstruction, so you can't kill the play & award or place her anywhere. You can't kill it until the obstructed runner is tagged or until all play has stopped. In this example, BR made the dumb move - assuming it was obvious that R1 would have been awarded 3B. If BR is put out, the out stands. If BR makes it safely back to 1B, she stays on 1B.
