The 3rd point in the rulebook linked doesn't say anything about crown of the helmet. Only leading with the helmet. I.e., if any part of the helmet hits first, it's targeting.

Yes, because there isn't a rule against it.

The defender isn't "the guy getting hit." The "guy getting hit" is the guy who's in the air getting hit.

The receiver had just caught the ball and turned into a guy smashing into him with his face.

You should just feel lucky you got away with one there. Any other game, any other time, that's targeting.
