Tagup and passing a runner

Question
Guest Bill
OBR, no outs, R2 and R3. Batter hits deep to F9 who catches it. R3 doesn't tag up, touches home and realizes he failed to tag. R2 tags up after the catch. As R3 is returning to third, R2 rounds third and heads for home. R2 passes R3 about halfway between third and home. R3 (for whatever reason--maybe assumes that the passed runner is out rather than training runner) then turns and jogs into his dugout never returning to third. R2 touches the plate safely.
If the defense doesn't appeal R3 leaving early do both runs score? Or is R2 out for passing? Is R3 out for abandonment?
If the defense appeals R3 leaving early, are both runners out?

Yes, R2 is out the moment he passed R3. Yes, R3 is out for abandonment. R3 is also traded

No need to appeal -- no runs score and three are out.
