The real question - Is it interference if contact occurs while a ground ball is in foul territory? And if so, what's the penalty? And if it's not, then since we haven't killed the ball, what to do if it subsequently rolls fair?

Yes, if freezes the play - definition FOUL BALL - D (ASA).
If a runner interferes with a fielder attempting field a batted ball over foul territory, it is by definition a foul ball.
The call is dead ball, foul, runner return, batter back in the box.
