3. Foul ball.

In #1 B1 gets 1B only, is that because the ball becomes dead immediately after hitting R1 and DBT is not to be considered? I was thinking two bases for going into DBT.
The runner (#1) is guilty of interference. The effect is in rule 8-7 after section Q. The ball is dead and runners return. You don't reward the offense with extra bases for interference just because the ball interferred with went into DBT.

In #2 and #3, the ball is dead and foul as soon as it contacts the runner in foul territory.
