If the BR misses first, touches second base and realizes then that first base was missed, too bad. Cant happen. Please apply this comment to your scenarios and figure out the outcome. I dont wanna make this too long!
As long as the ball remains live, a baserunner should be able to retrace as many bases as necessary to correct a missed base. I.E. If a batter hits a triple and misses 1st, once they arrive at 3rd they can still go back an touch 1st provided the ball is still live and the play is still in progress.
