NFHS 5-2-1: "When a penalty is declined, the number of the next down is the same as if the foul had not occurred."

Thus, the down is only replayed if the penalty yardage is accepted.

I think that since it was a loose ball play (fumble behind the LOS) then the enforcement spot would be the B30. So 1st and 5 if they take the penalty and 2nd and 5 if they decline it.

You are correct tomes, this is a loose ball play since the fumble occurred behind the neutral zone. The basic spot is the previous spot.
