No, the offensive line can't catch a pass
Alternate receiving yards in football refer to the yards gained by a player when they are not the primary target of a pass, such as when they catch a deflected ball. Receiving yards, on the other hand, are the total yards gained by a player when they are the intended target of a pass and successfully catch the ball.
In the NFL yes.
This is from the NFL rulebook:"Any eligible offensive player may catch a forward pass. If a pass is touched by one eligible offensive player and touched or caught by a second offensive player, pass completion is legal. Further, all offensive players become eligible once a pass is touched by an eligible receiver or any defensive player."Since the pass was touched by either an eligible receiver or a defensive player and then caught it is a legal catch.
A player may pass the ball to his own goalkeeper at any time. Subject to the terms of Law 12 , a player may pass the ball to his own goalkeeper using his head or chest or knee, etc. in the normal passage of play, and the goalkeeper may handle the ball. If, however, a player uses his feet to deliberately pass the ball to his own goalkeeper, and the goalkeeper handles the ball, an indirect free kick is awarded to the opposing team from the place where the infringement occurred. If, in the opinion of the referee, a player uses a deliberate trick while the ball is in play in order to circumvent the Law, the player is guilty of unsporting behaviour. He is cautioned, shown the yellow card and an indirect free kick is awarded to the opposing team from the place where the infringement occurred. This was a rule change in 1992.

no, that is not traveling.
The so-called "Back Pass" rule means that the goalkeeper cannot handle the ball, even within his own penalty area, if it was deliberately kicked to him by a teammate. If the goalkeeper violates this rule, an indirect free kick is awarded to the attacking team at the point where the goalkeeper handled the ball. Note that a penalty kick can never be awarded for a goalkeeper's handling.
