Does "bobbled" mean that it (1)touched the ground or (2)just bobbled in the air and eventually caught? (2) would mean BR out. If (1), did the BR reverse direction (before F3 "touching" 1st) or did the PU take the BU call?

You are correct about the double play possibility, which is why on a full height fly with two forcible runners on, we have an infield(er) fly rule.
Bobbled as in juggled and dropped, but touched in fair territory. BR did not reverse direction back to home. The BU never made a call. It was all the PU. There was only one runner on so the infield fly couldn't be in effect.
