Simple. Delayed dead ball signal given, and OBS announced. If you are asking the awards, then I cannot say. That is dependant on which bases the umpire felt the runner could have attained had the OBS not occurred. This applies to all three situations/questions.
Now, in the first case, the runner could not be put out between the bases in which the OBS occurred, so they are either going to be awarded second or returned to first. (Though some codes make the reward of second automatic.) As to the other two, strictly umpire judgement based on the play. The runner could be out, or there could be a base award coming.
