Question Infield Fly??

R1, R2 - 1 out, JV game (Thankfully). Pop-up about 20 ft in front of home plate. Catcher calls it, pitcher gives him room, ball drops right between them. Neither was within 2 steps of the ball. We did not call infield fly and, as a result, both runners begin to advance. Defense completes the force out at 3rd.

1. Did we screw up? If so, is there a rule of thumb to simplify, such as "anything in front of the pitcher..." or "anything landing on the infield grass..."?

2. After the play, is there any way of reversing it? I know that a pop-up can be an infield fly, even if it is not called. However, since there was more action (Runners moving up and an out called), are we committed to the play as called?

Thanks in advance for your feedback.......
