It seems like you're implying that the foot-on-foot contact occurred completely on Team S's side of the net. My answer is based on that assumption...

(b) is more straigforward. In every rule set, this would likely be judged as a centerline violation on the Team R player for being on Team S's court and causing the player to fall (interference).

(a) depends on the rule set. In NFHS, it's a net violation. In NCAA and now USAV (new rule), it's a play on as the Team S player wasn't playing the ball when they hit the net.
