"The first baseman is standing on 1st base when he receives the throw from the 2nd baseman and he tags the runner who started at 1st, but after the runer safely got back to 1st."
Looks as if this was the defining moment. At that point, the batter was put out, which removed the force on the runner who started at first. Therefore, since the tag on that runner came after he got back to 1B, he is safe. Any play after that simply results in what it results in: a runner on 2B. If F3 had been sharp, he would have tagged the runner and then stepped on first to put them both out.
Keep in mind that though the batter had touched 1B, when he retreated toward home, the force on him was reinstated.
