As to the first situation, if it didn't seem as if the receiver used contact with the padding or support to stay in the end zone, I'd be inclined to "not see" him touch the padding.

Yes, that is true.
The uprights are centered on the goal line. The crossbar is 10 feet high and something like 18.5 feet side. In fact, if a rusher hits the padding with the ball, the ball is deemed to have crossed the goal line, and therefore scores a touchdown.
