Catcher then goes to 3B and appeals to umpire that runner left too early which is upheld. Is one of the runners on originally on 1B or 2B (now in dugout) automatically called out for leaving baseline or does catcher have to tag them?

If they ran off the field and into the dugout, yes, no tag necessary.

Is the game still going on? Because that's 3 outs and no run scores.

This is a WHAT IF?, and not something that actually happened.

And yes, I was scouring ESPN myself, for a while.
