The answer to question 2 is: no NFL wing would ever lose his spot because someone else threw a flag. You ALWAYS need to know the result of the play. That would be quite a rookie error (or, for an NFL official, a career-ending brain fart).
You can also add that the NFL is placing the ball at the spot and relaying in another ball for the U. The original ball isn't moved until the U has the spot.
