The only difference this would make is whether the batter is out. Whether it was a foul tip or a foul fly that was caught, the runner would be out (assuming in both situations the runner was tagged before touching the plate).

If the tipped ball did not go directly to the catcher's mitt, it would be a foul ball. Neither the batter nor the runner would be out and the count would be 2-2. R3 would return.

If the bunt was "popped up" rather than a "tip" as a foul ball and caught wouldn't it become an appeal on the runner from third for not tagging up? If so getting tagged for the out is all that's required not before he touches the plate.

I guess I should qualify. If the batted ball remained in flight before going into the catcher's glove, it's one of two calls: out or foul tip. In both of the situations, a runner subsequently tagged before touching home plate would be out.

2-1 count, runner on 3rd, squeeze play is on. Batter foul tips the bunt attempt, our catcher catches the ball and tags the runner out. The umpire called it a dead ball and had the runner go back to 3rd. We argued that the runner should be out and that the pitch was a live pitch.

You are correct and the umpire needs to get in the rulebook.
