Another situation. Late 4th quarter. 2@8. Blocked FG attempt rolls out of bounds at LOS, after touching players from both teams. the kick never crossed the neutral zone. Who does the ball belong to? Is it 3@8 for Team A or 1@10 for Team B?

REPLY: Yes...situation #5 will have the same result although it's a no-brainer, whereas #6 requires the coach to consider whether he wants to take the points off the board.
For your other situation, it doesn't matter that the ball was touched by both teams or that it was 2nd down or that it never crossed the neutral zone. Any time a scrimmage kick goes out of bounds between the goal lines, it is dead and is awarded to the receiving team.
