It isn't the "bump" that is the OBS. It is the defender's presence in the R's path. If the runner slowed before the ball got there, it is still OBS.

AFA the other, it would depend on whether the "bump" was hard enough to cause the ball to be dropped or whether the fielder just missed the through. That part would definitely had to be seen.
