F2 then attempts to retire B4 at first base but the throw hits B4 in the back while B4 was running inside the foul line. (Could be 20 feet from home or 40 feet from home. Does it matter?)

Absolutely

So we already have 1 out on the force at home. BR then interfered with a thrown ball trying to prevent a DP. So B4 is now out and we have a dead ball. Do we call the next closest runner to home (R2) out and have an inning-ending triple play?

How can you get a 3rd out? The ball is dead when the INT is called, any active runners return to last base reached at the time of the INT.
