A: Interference. Fielder is protected when fielding a batted ball, so the intent of the runner is irrelevant. R3 out, other runners return, BR returns to the box with a strike on the foul ball (unless he already had 2 strikes).
B: Interference. It's highly unusual to get a double play on a pop foul, and I would probably not call one here. Same penalty.
