If you're in the "B" and the runner is 2/3 of the way up the line how could you not see the runner raise his arms? If you're following the flight of the ball from catcher to first base and back to home you had to have seen this. That being said PU is in the best position to make this call.
Second play, I was in C again and the catcher was up the line receiving the ball which dropped prior to the runner making contact with the catcher. Rules are either slide or get out of the way. Again out of the corner of my eye I thought R3 dropped his shoulder which I would of call interference
This is not interference it's malicious contact as described above
IF I was the PU. My question is both of these were the PU call for interference and if he doesn't ask for help should of I motion for a conference with him? The catcher on the second play ended up going to the hospital for a possible separated shoulder. Thoughts???

As described above unless your partners asks for help don't offer any. These are his calls all the way.
