Not so.

If R2 on 2nd base is the winning run. She is stealing 3rd base. Illegal pitch is thrown and called a ball (out of the zone and not swung at). F2 throws to F5 to retire R2 at 3rd base. F2 throws the ball into the outfield. R2 comes around to score.

The ball is NOT dead when B3 doesn't swing.

The coach can take the result of the play (since not all runners, including the batter, advanced one base) or enforcement of the penalty. I would prefer to score the winning run over getting a ball on the batter and moving R2 to 3rd base.

I would prefer to score R2 on the result of the play.
