If the Kick does not cross scrimmage line and is recovered by the opponent who gains possession?

It depends on why it didn't cross the line of scrimmage. A blocked kick, whether a field goal attempt or a punt, is a live ball. Either team may attempt to advance the ball (but no forward passes are permitted).
A field goal attempt or punt that is kicked so poorly that it does not reach the line of scrimmage is governed by the normal rules of the type of kick, a field goal attempt is a live ball and may be advanced by either team, a punt must be touched first by the receiving team.
So, if a punt or field goal attempt does not reach the line of scrimmage and is recovered by the opponent, they will receive 1st & 10 from where they recovered it (and advanced it to, if applicable).

Have you ever been able to keep possession of the ball after a 3rd down field goal attempt for another try?
Yes. In both college and the NFL, if a field goal attempt does not cross the line of scrimmage and is recovered by the kicking team, they will continue with possession of the ball. This ruling doesn't really come into play on 4th down kicks because the kicking team will lose possession of the ball on downs. But on third down, if a field goal attempt is blocked and the ball does not cross the line of scrimmage, should the kicking team recover the ball they keep possession and it will be fourth down. If the ball crosses the line of scrimmage, possession goes to the defense.
Can a qurterback cross over the line of scrimmage on a run then turn back and cross back over and throw the ball downfield?
No, once the ball crosses the line of scrimmage, no passing plays can be made.
Using NFL rules can a blocked field goal be recovered by the kicking team behind the line of scrimmage and thrown for a touchdown?
If it doesn't cross the line of scrimmage and the kicking team recovers the ball, the kicking team can kick again on the next down. This happened this week in Iowa vs Northern Iowa. Read about it here: http://scores.espn.go.com/ncf/recap?gameId=292482294
Is it legal to hurdle the line of scrimmage to block a kick?
Yes, as long as the player does not climb upon his own team's player.
In American football can a player on the kicking team retrieve a field goal attempt if it does not cross the line of scrimmage?
Yes. As long as the ball has not crossed the line of scrimmage, it is treated like a fumble and can be recovered by either team. Note that if the offense recovers, the down is still in effect. If it is fourth down, they would need to reach the line to gain a first down or else the ball would be turned over to the defense anyway. If the ball travels beyond the line of scrimmage, the same rules apply as to any kicked ball. The defense can let it roll dead (which would be the same as a missed FG) or attempt to return it. If the defense touches it beyond the line of scrimmage, the offense could recover and would have a first down.
Can there be a pass interference behind the line of scrimmage in college football In the NFL there is no pass interference possible on passes that do not go past the line of scrimmage?
In the NFL, there is no such thing as pass interference (PI) on forward passes that do not go past the line scrimmage but I recently watched a college football game in which a PI was called on a forward that never reached the line of scrimmage even though I always believed that there is no such thing as PI if such pass was in the backfield (behind the line of scrimmage). So I am not clear on the rule concerning passes that do not cross the line of scrimmage, in college football.
Can a defensive player cross the line of scrimmage to listen in on an opponents huddle?
That would be unsportsman like conduct, which is a 15 yard penalty.
What is the penalty for an ineligible man down field?
That could mean a couple of things. On a pass play, offensive lineman (center, guard, tackle) are not allowed to cross the line of scrimmage prior to a pass crossing the line of scrimmage. This infraction is called ineligible man down field. On a punt, the only players on the punting team allowed to cross the line of scrimmage prior to the punt are the two players positioned on the end of the line. Should any other player except for those two players cross the line of scrimmage prior to the punt, the infraction is called ineligible man down field.

When can a quarterback cross the line of scrimmage?
i have only been watching nfl for a couple of years but as my understanding goes there are no limitations on a qb crossing the line of scrimmage with the exception that should he cross the line of scrimmage before the ball is snapped his team will inccur a penalty. but as i say he may cross the line for a draw play for instance or on a trick play or just if he sees no alternative though once he is past the line of scrimmage (his entire body pads an all) he may not make a forward pass only backwards or lateral like any other player on the field
