Agree with both above, but this is a conceptual question. No, we can't call runners out "just going on fielders reaction", especially with the runner staying.
Angle is more important than distance as Mike implied. Personally, working alone tend to get into infield part way to PP, regardless of where runners are. In the OP, R1 will score. A throw home from center to get R2 can be covered from inside as that will be the ball side. And might have an angle on the play at 2nd. If not, then still safe as above.
