I think you are mixing situations. The runner closest to home would be called out only if the runner who interfered (batter-runner going to first) had already been put out. In this case she (batter-runner) had not already been put out. So simply a dead ball, batter-runner out for interference. 2 Outs.

Another note, is that in an attempt to break up a double play, the trailing runner is also out (not runner closest to home). [USA rule set]

Also hard to understand in this scenario how batter-runner is trying to break up a double play.
