Yes, the runner from 2nd stays at 3rd if reached before the INT occurred (as opposed to called).

Actually, this rule is in the ASA book (8.9.D.7), but for Senior play. If a runner runs the original line to home and interferes with the defender taking the throw or touching the plate, the ball is dead and the runner is out. This is interference, so no runners may advance.
