1. Yea, the rule is that these two "acts" take separate warnings, and so it should have been a warning, if it was interference, not a T. I know a fair number of refs think the rule is that the scoring team isn't allowed to even touch the ball, but the wording is not that strict. If your player was just helping out, it should be legal. However, to prevent these problems in the future, you should probably instruct your players to not touch it at all.

2. Ref got this one wrong, too.

Having said all that, I hope you didn't point out to the ref how wrong he was, or how lousy he was. I doesn't sound like you're that kind of person, but I just want to put in one word in defense of the ref.
