If the ball is first touched by F2 who is standing in foul territory, then it is foul.

In this instance it is where the ball is when it is touched. We are calling a fair or foul ball not a fair or foul fielder (which would be a whole other issue). The umpire may have gotten the call right but for the wrong reason here. The catcher could have been standing in foul territory, but touched the ball in fair territory, thus making it a fair ball.

Yes, it is possible that F2 reached out over fair territory and contacted the ball while it was still fair. In that case, fair ball, and record the out.

 Just wanted to clarify that it is the ball that is being judged fair or foul, not the fielder; leaving it to reason that in most instances it doesn't really matter where the fielder is standing (there are other reasons it may matter but not for fair/foul purposes).
