The award is based from the time the ball was thrown, not when it entered dead ball territory. 2B is correct.

After the game when back with team's parents, apparently a parent or coach from the girl's team made a comment that F5 was blocking the bag. Since F5 had the ball by the time R1 got there, there's not a question about obstruction, right?

You have to judge whether you felt R1 was hindered by F5 without possesion of the ball. If she was hindered without F5 having possesion, OBS. If she wasn't hindered, no OBS. If she had possesion when she hindered, no OBS.
That's an oversimplification but for the most part it is correct.
