3B still belongs to R1, so R2 is in jeopardy in both examples. R2 must make it back to 2B on her own, it is not an awarded base. Now, if the defense tags R1 for an out before tagging R2, then it's a dead ball due to the obstruction and we end up with R1 back on 3B and place R2 back on 2B. If, however, the defense does not tag R1, there is no dead ball, so R2 may be tagged. Yes, the defense may tag R2 while R2 and R1 are standing on 3B - remember, R2 does not have rights to that base.
