Keep in mind, you cannot have an offset for a double foul as stated in #2 above. There is no roughing the passer if the pass was illegal. You could possibly have a personal foul for the hit on the QB, but not roughing the passer. If you judged that the personal foul was during the live ball action, then you could have an offset. If you judged that the personal foul was after the incomplete pass, then you would have a dead ball foul and you would enforce live ball/dead ball. This enforcement would remain the same even if this play occurred on 4th down.
