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.

So you would not have USC at any time - never ever ever - if a fielder did that????

There is no rule forbidding it. If I remember correctly, this scenario had even been included on the test a couple years back.
