Thinking about OBJ's catch, what if he stepped out of bounds before the catch and it was missed by the on-the-field refs but caught on replay, can it be ruled no TD? In that same case, would the PI stand or would that be wiped out because he stepped out of bounds?
I really don't know so I ask. Thanks in advance.
Yes, this is correct.
if he was forced out of bounds then he just needs to re-establish himself inbounds before catching the ball. If he went out on his own then this is definitely true (off-setting penalty).

I know if you have a personal foul on team A and team B committed holding, the penalties don't offset. The PF is applied.
To answer the original question, any time a play is reviewed, the ENTIRE play can be reviewed, not just one specific aspect. And since all scoring plays are automatically reviewed, the entire scoring play can always be reviewed.
We marveled at the catch itself, we marveled that it was done in the face of PI and now I marvel at the fact that he did it while tip-toeing the sidelines where the smallest misstep would mean it was all for not.
If we was forced out and fails to reestablish himself before making the catch, its incomplete but PI applies.
If he was forced out and does reestablish himself, TD is good and PI is declined.
I think that coves the scenario.
