Ball pitched and hit without umpire calling "play"

Thanks in advance as I can't find this in the rulebook. Little League minors AA: Situation is very beginning of the game, umpire calls the batter into the box, defense is ready, and the pitcher throws a pitch. (Not sure if the outcome matters) Batter singles up the middle. After kid is on 1b the umpire calls him back because he never called the ball into play. Should the play stand or not? I'm assuming this could also apply after any dead ball. Appreciate the help!

10u division: runner on 2nd leaves early, flag is dropped. Catcher throws to 3rd, runner is not out. Then somehow 3B overthrows pitcher and ball goes into dead ball territory (in the dugout). Does the runner leaving early negate the 2-base dead ball penalty? Ball not hit by batter obviously.
