Unsure about the rules

I was playing with a friend of mine recently and he definitely broke the
rules, but I was not sure what the penalty was or the action he should have
taken.

We were playing a par three over a stream. He hit his ball into a tree on
the near bank of the stream, and we did not see it again. We both thought it
likely that his ball had gone into the water. He looked in the water, but
could not see his ball. The bridge over the stream was some distance away,
and he did not want to go round the other side to look for it, and then come
back if he did not find it. He dropped another ball behind the stream,
declaring the he was playing a provisional. I told him he could not play a
provisional from there, but he played it anyway, making the green. He then
walked round over the bridge, and found his first ball on the other side of
the stream. He then played his first ball onto the green, pocketed his
second ball, and holed out with the first.

Luckily it was a stableford so I just gave him zero for the hole.

If it had been a medal what should I have done?

Having dropped and played a second ball, and then found the first, what
should he have done?
Is the second ball the ball in play, having been illegally substituted?
If so, he dropped it and played from the wrong place.
Should he abandon the second ball and continue with the first?
How many penalty strokes?
Disqualification for playing from the wrong place?

I have read the rules and the decisions on the rules but am not sure what
applies in this situation.
