Force Out

F3 eventually steps towards 1B, tags it with his foot (replays show that he was actually a foot away from the bag), PU calls the BR out before F3 makes his play. ... snip ...

Does "bobbled" mean that it (1)touched the ground or (2)just bobbled in the air and eventually caught? (2) would mean BR out. If (1), did the BR reverse direction (before F3 "touching" 1st) or did the PU take the BU call?

You are correct about the double play possibility, which is why on a full height fly with two forcible runners on, we have an infield(er) fly rule.
