2005 NFHS case play 7.3.5 Situation A:
..."B2(batter) is entitled to her position in the batter's box and is not subject to interference unless she moves or re-establishes her position after F2 has received the pitch, which then prevents F2 from attempting to play on a runner. Failing to move so the catcher can make a throw is not batter interference."
This is in reference to a play where either the batter does or does not swing, and either makes no attempt to get out of the way of the catcher throwing, or is unable to make an attempt to get out of the way.
I don't believe interference should be the call on the originally posted play.
