The scorer had no choice after the ump let the run score from second. And that's why they put erasers on pencils.

Years ago ballparks sold programs along with a free pencil with an eraser. Red Smith taught me how to keep score one day.

No difference in the # of bases a runner may advance on a WP or PB as long as the ball stays "in play", regardless of how or when the official scorer labels it---the difference between the two is whether it's an "unearned run" on a passed ball or an "earned run" on a WP charged to the pitcher...
