However, the opposition's illegal motion penalty was waved off and the opposition was awarded possession and got an additional 15 yards and a first down.
Correct me if I am wrong, but the home team should have received possession and lost 15 yards from the spot, right? Because the play was blown dead, there should have been a turnover.

Illegal motion is not a dead ball penalty. So no the play should have not been blown dead for that penalty.
I have no idea who is the kicking team or who is the receiving team, so I have not idea how you enforce the penalties. You need to clarify that before anyone can really answer.
