When will the referee rule a re punt?

The referee in football doesn't rule the re-kick rather the team that reaps the benefit of a penalty and chooses to re-kick. For instance; if a punt only goes 20 yards on a 4th and 12 punt and the defense was offsides; the referee just calls the penalty; the kicking team selects to enforce the penalty or re-kick. My answer - a referee seldom rules a punt to be rekicked. The kicking team will have that luxury ONLY if a penalty flag was thrown and in their favour.

In soccer penalty kicks if the player kicks the ball before the referee blows the whisle what happens?

It all depends on the referee on the day. One thing for certain is, the penalty must be retaken, and the player who took the penalty may get a yellow card. It is however very unlikely a player will take a penalty before the whistle. It is more common in free kicks. If a free kick is taken before the whistle is blown the free kick must be retaken and again the player may get a yellow card. You will notice before a free kick or penalty the referee will hold up his whistle and show it to the players and say wait for my whistle.

What do you do if a player of the kicking team on a pentalty kick steps into the box after you signal for the kick to be taken but before they kick it?

If an attacker [only] infringes the referee will wait for the result of the penalty kick. If the kick enters the goal, a rekick will be awarded. If the kick does not enter the goal, the restart will be an indirect free kick for the defense at the location where the player entered.
