I'm a new official so if this question seems stupid please excuse me.
If there is a 15 yard face mask penalty during a run from scrimmage that results in a touchdown is it assessed from the succeeding spot (the PAT) or the kickoff? |

Restated: There is never an option to carry over a penalty to the kickoff for fouls by the opponent of the scoring team occuring during a touchdown scoring play. For the complete rule see NFHS 8-2-2 (Page 59 in 2005 rule book)

Assuming that a facemask qualifies as a foul for this type of play:
I have a problem with no option but the PAT. There gives the D the ability to facemask, knowing that it's only going to be a 1.5 yard penalty, at most. In Canada, you can go half the distance (from the 5), or the full 15 on the KO.

I agree, but it's better than what it used to be (free shot by anyone on the defense on a TD or PAT).
