Yes there can be multiple spots of first touching.
Yes, you can.
Lets say K's ball 4th and 10 at K's 20 yard line. K's punt lands untouched by K or R at K's 49 yard line, takes a bounce back to K's 39 yard where it is muffed by K60, then bounces back to K's 45 yard line where K75 lands on it.
The multiple spots of K's first touching are the K 39 and K 45 yard lines. R has the choice of taking the ball first and 10 at either of the spots of first touching. Best choice would be R's ball 1st and 10 at K's 39 yard line.
