Another situation that occurred that I had no idea was a rule was when our other goalie was penalized for scooping up a ball in his box that was kicked to him by one of his teammates.

Yep. It has to be an intentional pass with the foot or leg to be illegal. If it's unintentional (referee's discretion) or the teammate uses his chest or head (really anything other than the legs), the keeper can pick it up.
