Runner allowed to advance to 3rd??

Question
Guest KMM
Couple questions that have come up and I've received two different answers on these.
1) Runner on first, pitcher throws to batter and ball deflects off plate then catcher and goes over backstop. Where should the runner be placed on the wild pitch out of play?
2) Runner on 2nd. Batted ball to third, runner still around 2nd base. Third over throws first and goes into dugout. Where should the runners be placed? In this scenario, what happened was the runner on 2nd was moved to 3rd, and the batter was awarded to 2nd base. Is this correct?

1. R1 is awarded 2nd base. 1 from TOP 2. R2 is awarded home, and BR is awarded 2nd. 2 TOP (Time of Pitch)

#2 -- My guess is that the runner was retreating toward second at TOT and the umpire fell for the "the base he's going to plus one" myth. "#2" is appropriate for this.
