(2 base award from time of throw if BR had touched 2nd 3rd and home).

Yes... sorry missed the thrown into dead ball territory part. This actually makes it a pretty interesting question. Since the delayed dead ball situation allows play to continue, I would think that the runner is already awarded 3rd base, so the throw into dbt would give the runner home.
