I'm having a little difficulty in an obstruction call away from a play and the mechanics involved. Let's say the runner went back to 3rd. Would you then award them home because in your judgment that's where you think they'd have been even though they went back to 3rd?

Personally speaking yes I would do exactly that.
Remember you award the base that you feel the runner would have made if no Obstruction had occurred.
