On play 2, because the play rolls over the endline it isn't considered a forward fumble OOB? (I am still trying to figure out that darned forward fumble rule) Is that why it wouldn't return to the spot of the fumble if B declined the penalty, hence the touch back?

That's correct. The "fumble forward out of bounds" rule only applies to an OOB spot in the field of play. If a ball is fumbled foward into the EZ and it becomes dead there or is OOB behind the GL, it is a safety or touchback. See 7-2-4-b.
