B1 bunts down the first baseline right on the chalk. Catcher attempts to pick up the ball but a collision occurs between him and the batter-runner.
3) Was interference, obstruction or incidental contact the right call in your opinion?

If the collisions was "immediately" after the bunt and the batter moved immediately to first base on the bunt, then this was probably nothing.
If the batter hesitated, or the catcher was so fast that he was able to get (well) in front of the batter to try to field the ball, then you probably have interference.
If the catcher could have played the ball, but waited, hoping it would go foul, then tried to pick it up, then you probably have obstruction.
