If you ask the covering official I'm confident that he'll tell you he was sure. The fact that the play was reviewed and not overturned lends credence to his decision.

Back to your first point, the official was on the line and in position to judge whether the ball was in player possession and across the goal line. If he was unsure he would have asked for help.
