This one may be subject to a vote of the players on the league. Fouls occur when you release the ball after you have passed the black line with your toe or foot. If you walk past the black line and come back with the ball still in your hand, this would not be a foul. A Bowling foul only occurs if you release the ball from the gutter or foot over the black line. Arms and other body parts may cross the black line. If a foul occurs, you should reset the pins and start again. If you get another foul, your turn is over.

Will a bowling ball or a golf ball hit the ground first from two rooms high?

If air resistance can be ignored (and it probably can from 2 rooms high) then both the bowling ball and golf ball will hit the floor at the same time. Although the bowling ball is harder to get moving than than the golf ball (it has more mass), the bowling ball also has a greater force pulling it down than the golf ball (as measured by its weight). The result is that both objects have the same acceleration.
