What are the conditions of double overtime?
This question depends on the level of play. In the NFL, double overtime can only occur in the playoffs, as games which go scoreless through one overtime in the regular season end in a tie. In college, the second overtime rules are identical to the first, with each team getting a chance to score from the 25-yard line. However, the order in which the teams has the ball is reversed from the first overtime.
Player runs out of bounds and back to make tackle?
A player that runs out of bounds on purpose can not be the first player to make contact with the ball or the ball carrier. If they are pushed out of bounds by a blocker and make and effort to get back in quickly, they can make the tackle.

Do plays count if there are penalties on them?
That would depend on the penalty and how it is accessed. Example 1: A running back gains 10 yards on a play. A penalty is called for offensive holding and is accepted by the defensive team. The penalty is assessed from the original line of scrimmage. The play 'does not count' and the running back is not credited with 10 yards towards his rushing yardage total. Example 2: A running back gains 10 yards on a play. A penalty is called for defensive grabbing the face mask and is accepted by the offensive team. The penalty is assessed from where the play ended. The play 'does count' and the running back is credited with 10 yards towards his rushing yardage total. Example 3: A running back loses 3 yards on a play. A penalty is called for defensive offsides and is accepted by the offensive team. The penalty is accessed from the original line of scrimmage. The play 'does not count' and the running back is not credited with -3 yards towards his rushing total. One general rule to determine whether the play 'counts' on a penalty is to determine from where the penalty yardage is accessed. If it is accessed from the line of scrimmage that the play started, the play does not count. If the penalty yardage is accessed from where the played ended, the play does count.

Is a QB kneel a tackle and is a defender credited with it?
No, it is not considered a tackle. Technically when a quarterback goes down behind the line of scrimmage it is considered a sack. However, when a quarterback takes a knee, he is credited with a -1 yard rushing but no defender is credited with the tackle/sack.
That goes back to the early days of football, when mass plays like the flying wedge were making the game so violent that Teddy Roosevelt threatened to ban the game altogether. Requiring that at least seven players always remained on the line of scrimmage opened up the game for ball carriers and kept the chance of dangerous mass plays to a minimum.
How many points per touchdown?
Six for the touchdown, followed by:
* One point for a kicked PAT. * Two points for a PAT on a ball that's successfully carried back into the end zone.
The answer may vary. If you take a square away from the field it will still have the same perimeter. So the Length and Width may vary on how you make the field.

It's not where the player's body is, it's where the ball is. The ball has to be completely across the line of scrimmage to count as an illegal forward pass.
