Where is the first down marker after a 1st down and a personal foul on the offense?

A personal foul is a dead-ball foul, which means the 15 yards are always added on to the end of the play. So the marker (and the new line of scrimmage) will be 15 yards beyond where the ball was spotted at the end of the play.

If the ball is fumbled and rolls past the first down marker is it a first down?
A fumble is down when the recovering player is down or when the ball goes out of bounds...so yes, if the ball is fumbled forward and recovered by the offense, or goes out of bounds, past the first down marker, it is a first down. The exception is on fourth down. In the NFL, only the player who fumbled the ball can advance it on fourth down.

In football if the offense has the ball on fourth down and fumbles then the defense fumbles in the exact same place where they picked up the ball and the offense gets it back whose ball is it?
As long as there was a clear change of possession to the defense before they fumbled the ball back to the offense, then the offense would keep the ball and get a new set of downs. If the defense fumbled the ball back to the offense without ever establishing possession, then the ball would go over to the defense on downs. The only way the offense could retain possession in this case is if the ball ended up beyond the first-down marker when the offense finally recovered.
Personal foul - roughing the passer on no. 96. That penalty is declined. 2nd down?
