These are all fouls that may not include actual contact with the opponent.
Passing interference is not a personal foul.

Interlock blocking involves actually blocking and is also not a personal foul.

Helping the runner does not involve contact with the opponent. Not much different than intentional grounding does not involve any contact. Even with helping the runner involves some philosophy and a common sense approach.

Again my point was not talking about whether the rule says something or not, I do not think it is a good call without contact. I also feel I am not likely to pull that rule out of my behind. Do what you feel is best.

Peace
