So There's some kind of "illegal defense" call whenever a LB blitzed without the signal? In Indoor is one of the offensive linemen eligible to receive (the TE in Arena)?

Yes, I would suspect there's an illegal defense to be called there.
As for the OL receiving eligibility, depends on the league. I don't think the IFL allows it, but the CIFL at least used to.

Missed field goals are live balls (think punting rules) if they land in the field of play, unless they bounce off the ceiling or goalposts.

So if the ball goes out of bound in a missed field goal it is a touch back??

If the ball goes out of bounds out the end zone, the ball is spotted at the 5 yard line.
If the ball goes out of bounds over the side boards, then it is spotted at that spot.
These are IFL rules. Some other indoor leagues spot the ball at the 25 yard line after a missed field goal (APFL).

I think indoor rules are better for moving players up to the CFL and NFL. Arena rules generally only benefit QBs as far as moving up goes. Hardly anyone moves up anyway, so leagues should use arena rules as they are more entertaining.

Any missed field goal that goes back into the field of play (unless caught and thrown back by a fan) is live like a punt (like Banana Cat said) and can be recovered by either team. So in other words, yes it has to be returned.

I find it insulting to watch a game that has no significant defensive threat to offenses, who can just play pitch and catch all game.

AFL offenses are built to pass alot, unlike indoor teams that have RB's the AFL has FB's and most of the FB's are OFFENSIVE LINEMAN so its like having 4 OFFENSIVE LINEMAN on the field instead of 3 OFFENSIVE LINEMAN. QB's threw constant short passes to wide open WR's because of the OLD JACK LB RULE, More short passes lead to less points scored then today. The NEW JACK RULE did help the AFL defense's, But It force QB's to throw down field alot more which helps lead to more points. The AFL teams PASS BLOCKING and the NEW JACK LB RULE forcing QB's to throw down field more leads to more points scored. Look at the PIFL teams they have the same rules as the AFL teams but the PIFL teams do not score as much as the AFL teams because the PIFL has RB"s, The PIFL teams are not built to PASS BLOCK like the AFL teams so thats why the PIFL passes less and scores less then the AFL.
