In both cases, it is nothing.
There is no play to interfere with if the ball is foul. If you kill the play upon contact, the status of the ball is determined at that moment and it must be foul.
For that matter, what is to keep the BR from stepping on the ball to kill it? It is not illegal for a fielder to throw their glove to contact a ball in foul territory to keep it from becoming fair.
