The spot is determined by which team the referee is pulling for to win the game. As we have seen several times in College Football this year, spots that appeared to be obvious (where the ball was located at the time the player was down, with his elbow, knee, etc) were changed to provide or take away a first down or, in some cases, a touchdown.

Can you call a time out in the middle of a play in football?

No, a time out can not be called in the middle of a play in football because if the play is already in play then there isn't allowed to be any interferences such as a time out after the ball is hiked and before the officials rule the play done. A time out can be called right before the play begins and after the play is ruled dead by the officials.
