An incidental facemask penalty is not always "tacked on" to the end of the run--it is enforced under the all but one principle. If before a pass, B incidentally grasps an A player's facemask the basic spot is the previous spot, and then penalty is enforced from there.
As already mentioned, 5-2-2 says that the the next down will be the same in number as down in which the foul occured (unless is LOD foul, an automatic first down, or enforcement of the penalty results in a first down).
