Can anyone who actually knows tell me, how many players from each team to constitute a maul?

That ball was out come on Peyper that was a joke. Not to mention an England player then played it on the ground.

For a maul to form...

There must be a least three players. The three players must include

The ball carrier
An opponent, holding the ball carrier
A team mate of the ball carrier, bound to the ball carrier

also

Players must be on their feet and attempt to stay on their feet
The players must be in the field of play
The group of players must be moving towards a goal-line

But surly a reason not to award the try is no clear evidence of grounding?

Nope it's not. It has to be a penalty offence or knock on.

The point of the 'any reason' is because the ref has seen a grounding and wants to know if the ball got there legally.

TMO did everything fine, totally Peyper's fault.
