I, personally, don't see how white is scoring ippon here. As a BJJ guy, I see blue initiating to attack uchi mata, white attempting to defend, almost stuffing blue's attack by sweeping him onto his back, but blue gets his balance and ends on top inside white's closed guard. 

 I don't understand how white scores anything from this position, much less wins the match.

Abe lands in the neck bridge from the counter throw, which is considered an ippon.

Is any time in the neck bridge considered ippon, regardless of anything else that may have happened during the match?

Only when falling. It’s to discourage people doing harmful things to themselves to get out of losing

No, but landing in the neck bridge from your opponent's throw is considered ippon. You are free to bridge as much as you want in newaza (ground fighting) situations for example
