Schools differ on this point. It would be like flunking high school and being sent back to kindergarten. Hopefully we do not need the fear of being reborn as a slug or a pig to keep from doing bad deeds.

One should not get too bogged down in trying to figure out the details of how karma and reincarnation work. It is important to remember that our real nature is divine, one with Brahman. It is only an illusion that we are born in a body, die and get reborn. But while under the influence of Maya (cosmic illusion), it appears as if the law of karma operates and that the soul gets reincarnated. There will always be details that remain vague and that we cannot know for certain. How certain can you be about an illusion anyway?

How did Paul fit the test that an apostle must be a witness of the resurrection of Jesus?

Jesus Christ appeared to Saul/Paul on his way to Damascus. Just because Paul probably did not see the actual resurrected Christ before He ascended, he did see Him at a later time, and that was enough to give Paul an apostleship. Christ appointed Paul an apostle to the Gentiles, that's you and me unless your Jewish.
