1. True, although if the runner falls with his back to you, the other wing may have a better view of the spot. In that case, you should point to the other side so the umpire knows that there is a better spot on the other side. The Umpire rarely has a spot. If the LJ has a spot, you may "mirror" his spot.
2. True.
3a. Not always. R might have a better angle, particularly if you have gone downfield because of your pass read.
3b. Correct. In reference to the WH, sometimes you get one who likes to always be in charge. State your position and move on. Discuss it in detail at half time or after the game.
4. Grabbing the jersey is holding. But, consider the severity of it, whether it had any effect on the play (away from point of attack), whether the defensive player really made an effort to get to the runner or was just "dancing" with the blocker. Not every hold deserves a flag, but you may want tell the player after the play is over that he is liable to be flagged.
