The coach may take the penalty or the result of the play when an IP is called therefore, at the end of playing action I ask coach which option he wants.
My answers to OP questions:
1) Yes
2) Yes
3) No
I checked LL Softball Rule 8.01 (PENALTY) an 8.05 (PENALTY). The way I read these sections supports my answers listed above (IMO).

I also have had the honor of umpiring various levels of LL softball tournament games ranging from 9-10 All-Star Tournaments through Big League Softball Central Regional Tournament. I would love being assigned to a LL Softball World Series Tournament (or 2).

I guess my point is the coach we have here actually is sharp enough to realize that an IP has been called and at that point he's gonna send his kids. I feel like he's double-dipping in the reward/penalty pool. It's one thing to me if in Jr/Sr/BL and they are off with the pitch - I guess I struggle with majors and him catching the IP call and knowing he has a free shot at a stolen base. If the rational side of me takes a deep breath and looks at it, I see that point. But when the emotional side looks at it, I want to send them back.

I talked with Andy Konyar in Williamsport about it and he seems to agree that the play stands, or at least they CAN steal on the IP.
