Does 7.2.D.2 Effect B only apply to the immediate previous PLAY, or the entire AT-BAT?

IMO, you need to look at 7.2.D-1 and D-2 together.

D-1 covers the time at bat of an incorrect batter. When discovered, there is no penalty. All play (base stealing, runs scoring, runner picked off) stands, and the batter is replaced with the correct batter.

D-2 covers the action that terminates the incorrect batter's time at bat. Anything resulting from that play is examined and penalties are assessed. Runners are returned, scores are negated, and the proper batter called out. Any other outs achieved by the defense during the play will stand.

Thus the run that occured prior to the play that ended the incorrect batter's time at bat stands.
