No he's still the punter he ran the ball because of a fake punt call or maybe because of bad snap & he's afraid punt will get blocked so he runs with ball. Regardless he's still the punter.

If one pro football team roughs the punter after he kicks does the punter's team get the ball for a 1st and 10?

Yes. There are two penalties that can be called in a situation where a punter gets hit after punting the ball. One is a 'running into the punter' penalty which is five yards and not an automatic first down. The other is 'roughing the punter' which is fifteen yards and an automatic first down. The referee makes the decision whether the penalty is running into or roughing. Generally, roughing the punter is called when the punter's kicking leg is still in the air when heavy contact is made. If both the punter's feet are on the ground when contact is made or the contact is very slight, running into the punter is called. If the defensive player makes contact with the punter because of being blocked by an offensive player, no penalty is called.

Roughing the kicker. If a punt is blocked can you hit the punter without getting a penalty for roughing the kicker?
