An appeal on 3B and the R2 is out. A time-play.
However, does the run count?
If this is a time-play, then the R1 run would count???
Sitch #2:
R1 @ 2B
R2 @ 1B
2 outs
Br Hits ... a tripple
R1 goes home (the lead runner), but misses 3B
R2 goes home with a clean run.
An appeal at 3B, and R1 is out.
Since R2 actual completed the bases before R1, does the run count? or is it considered as R2 has passed R1?

No run can score after the third out is made. There are situations where runs that score before the third out is made don't count.
One is if the BR doesn't safely reach first or any runner is forced out. Another is if a proceeding runner is called out on appeal.
Your first situation is called a time play because the determinant is whether R1 scored before R2 was called out. It doesn't apply any exception.
Your second situation R2 is not deemed to have passed the runner and is not out (which would matter if there were less than two outs). But no runner can score behind a runner who is appealed out for the third out. So the run does not score.
