Bases loaded, two outs. Batter hits a ball in the gap for a clean double, but R2 misses third on the way to the plate. Defense appeals the missed base. R2 is out, run does not score. In this case though, the out on R2 is also a force play which means the preceding runner does not score either.

Altor:

You are correct in your second play but incorrect in your first play.

No runs score. See NFHS Softball R9-S1-A1d and e.
