I'm not completely sure but I believe once the kicker has kicked the ball if the ball lands in the end zone it doesn't matter where it bounces after that, once its in the end zone it's automatically a touchback and play begins on the 20 yard line.

Why Was I Always Taught That Once A Kick off Went 10 Yards It Was A Free Ball Unless It Went Out Of Bounds. I have Seen At Least 2 College Games Where The Ball Went Into The End Zone Untouched And Did?
There are two separate kicks (not including punts) in football, the scrimmage kick and the on-sides kick. The scrimmage kick is also known as the kickoff. A Kickoff occurs at the start of each half, after a team scores a touchdown or after a team scores a field goal. If the ball is kicked by Team A towards to opponents goal, Team B, the receiving team is given the opportunity to catch the ball. The receiving team must be given the opportunity to catch the ball. If the ball goes out of bounds in the field of play on the kickoff, it is a foul. The receiving team gains possession of the ball at the spot where the ball goes out of bounds. If the ball goes out of bounds in the end zone or hits the uprights, it is considered a touch back. The receiving team gets the ball at the 25 yard line. If Team A opts for an On-Sides kick, the ball must travel a minimum of 10 yards. If the ball travels more than 10 yards, it is considered a live ball, and any team may recover. If the ball goes out of bounds, the Receiving team retains possession at the spot where the ball goes out of bounds.
Is it a home run if the ball bounces on the top of the wall and then comes back into the field?
No, a home run is when the ball goes out of the field.
Can a kickoff receiver catch the ball in the field of play and run back into their own end zone and take a knee for a touchback?
they can. but it would be called a safety and the opposing team would gain 2 points and the ball back by kickoff. because forward progress was made, it is the same as if the quarterback was sacked in the teams endzone. the receiving player who would do this would be quickly lynched by his own fans. There is a reason why this has not been done.

Can the team that kickoff recover the ball 30 yards down field?
According to the NFL Rulebook: " A kickoff is illegal unless it travels 10 yards OR is touched by the receiving team. Once the ball is touched by the receiving team or has gone 10 yards, it is a free ball. Receivers may recover and advance. Kicking team may recover but NOT advance UNLESS receiver had possession and lost the ball. " According to the NFL Rules, the kicking team may not advance the ball on a kickoff unless it has been possessed first by the receiving team. In the play you saw in the Washington/Seattle playoff game, the ball went unpossessed by the receiving team when the kicking team gained control. In that case, possession is awarded to the kicking team at the spot where the kicking team gained control of the ball. no. the ball is dead where the kicking team touched it
