Tricky one.... in the first instance the offending player should be warned or potentially yellow carded depending on the severity of the late tackle. In terms of the penalty being taken by the defending team, this should restart as a penalty from the 22m line in line from from where the offence happened. A full penalty meaning that the defending team can kick direct to touch and still retain possession for the lineout.
Pretty sure the above is correct and certainly a resolution to the questions

"a penalty from the 22m line in line from from where the offence happened" - nearly, it`s from anywhere on the 22m.
