As for the block, the defender clearly took out the shooter with her body as she was getting the ball. Clean up top does not mean you get to flatten the shooter in the process.
I have had that happen to me a couple of times. One I called the other was a partner. But that has been over 10 years ago, so it is rare for sure.

Clean up top means you get to the ball cleanly first. That did not happen on this play. There should always be expected contact on a blocked shot when the players are different in size and strength.
