Interference. Call time, return runners.

The catcher still manages to make the out at 1B.

Who cares? Play's over.

1) Did I have immediate interference, return runner to 2B?

If, as you indicated, contact took place two feet into fair territory, then, Yes.

2) Did I have no interference since the B/R helped improve the catcher's throwing lane to 1B and the out on B/R was recorded anyway.

3) Did I simply have a foul ball, when contact was made by a RHB in front of home plate as he cleared the rightside batter's box?
