Define "intentionally drop". If the ball is allowed to drop or the player guides the ball to the ground, there is not problem here. An intentional drop can only take place if F6 actually caught the ball and then dropped it.
**What's to define? How can someone "guide" a LINE DRIVE to the ground without touching it? It wasn't a popup. Dead ball, batter's out, no double play.

2)R1 on 3B, R2 on 1B. 1 out. BR hits fly ball to F9. R1 thinking there was 2 out, ran on contact. F9 catches and throws ball to 1B for a double-play and the 3rd out. Meanwhile R1 crosses homeplate before throw gets to 1B. Does the run count?

Yes.
