Interference of the throw is NOTHING. Interference of the CATCH, while out of the lane, is the violation.
As always, FED is the exception.

so back to my original question. Is it legal for a baserunner to run inside the foul line the last half of the distance to first base?

Yes, as long as he doesn't interfere with the defensive player attempting to field the throw at first, he can run wherever he wishes.
