That is still not as bad as swinging a helmet at someone's face.

But yes, he should have been handled harshly.

In that case Keane was suspended for a total of 8 games, which because of schedule length (EPL play 38, NFL play 16), is equivalent to 3.4 (so say either 3 or 4) in the NFL, or 34 in MLB (not implausible for a guy using a bat as a weapon).

Here's what the rule book says.
Article 15 A player may not use a helmet (that is no longer worn by anyone) as a weapon to strike, swing at,
or throw at an opponent.
Penalty: For illegal use of helmet as a weapon: Loss of 15 yards and automatic disqualification.

Would that mean being ejected?

Yes, that's the meaning of that. As I said, how the hell the official didn't even throw a flag I'm not sure, since it happened right in front of him.
