SIT 1: Unless the throw draws the defensive player into the path of the runner, there is no such thing as incidental contact on this type of play. It would be obstruction for the purpose of protecting the runner off the base.
SIT 2: Unless the runner adjust his basepath for the sole purpose of running into Moose at 1B (and it would have to be obvious), it is obstruction. Once it is obvious that all play is complete or the obstructed runner is PUT OUT, not just played on, the umpire kills the play, awards the obstructed runner and any other runner the umpire has judged to have been affected by the obstruction the bases s/he has determined would have been reached safely had the obstruction not occured.
