2 outs, runner on 3rd. batter hits a line drive just inside 3rd base, ball hits the runner on 3rd who is off the bag in fair territory before passing a fielder. ump calls dead ball, runner is out, inning over.

next inning the ump lets the batter who hit the ball up to bat again. correct or not?

Not correct. The batter had already completed his turn at bat.

that's what i thought, he would still get 1st even if its the 3rd out and force all runners forward in necessary

And the obvious question is, why was the runner standing in fair territory?
