Illegal Kick Options?

On a field goal attempt (4th and 3), snapped from R's 13 with the holder on the 20, the snap is muffed. The ball is falling off the tee when the kicker does kick it through the uprights.

Is this an illegal kick, and, if so, what are the penalty options given to R?

What if the ball did not go through the uprights, but instead bounced into the end zone and K2 recovered in R's endzone? Is the result of the play a TD, for penalty admin purposes? If a whistle sounds when the illegally kicked ball crossed the goal line, would this be an inadvertent whistle, and if so, what options would you give K?

Sounds like a legal fieldgo, chaulk up the points.

If the kick enters the endzone we have a touchback, anytime a kick enters R's endzone it is automatically a touchback.
