Play 2 - Same as above only different game and different numbers
Play 3 - same game as play 1 but instead of passing the ball forward, the quarterback keeps the ball and runs downfield for a 35 yd gain. He was helped by a lineman blocking the linebacker about 20 yards downfield. The linebacker was backpeddling until the quarterback got flushed and committed to the run.

Play 3 is legal as you can only be an ineligible downfield on a pass play where the pass goes beyond the line of scrimmage.
I'll take your word on 1 and 2 and say that yes, this would describe a foul.
