Does the run score

Additional information:
If R1 returned to touch 3B and does not retouch home on the way, there is no longer an appeal to be made at 3B. There is an appeal available for missing home on the way back to 3rd, however.

But after the 3rd out, can R1 return to 3rd? I think whatever she does has to be completely done before that 3rd out (as jmkupka says above). After the 3rd out even if the runner retags home, runs back to 3rd and then goes back and steps on home it does not matter. There were already 3 outs and if a 4th out appeal is made it should still cancel the run. If no 4th out appeal is made, no matter what R1 does, I think the run scores.

I'm not sure this is right. If the runner retreats past home to retouch, she hasn't scored anymore, right? If she hasn't scored then she can longer be called out on appeal (it's not an advantageous 4th out).

But to me the question remains, how long can the runner unscore.

Suppose for example that there's one out and it's a ball to a very very deep rf. The runner thinking there are two outs breaks on contact and makes it home. Then the RF catches the ball. She can unscore by running back to third (touching home along the way) and if she gets there safely, she's staying on third.
Now same scenario but there are two outs and after scoring the coach thinking there's one out calls her back. She touches home either a) just before) or b) just after the catch.
Rulings?

If there are 2 outs and the fly ball is caught in RF it doesn't matter what the 3B runner does. Even though she may have crossed the plate before the out, you can not score a run if the 3rd out is a force or a runner put out before reaching 1st.
