I know that the runner is out, and the ball is dead. My question is this.
If the runner from second advances to third does he stay at third? The rule (NF) states that runners return on interference by the batter and a play at a base other than home. By rule then, the runner stays unless I deem a DP could have been made. Correct???

Errrrrrrrrr....less than 2 outs, the BATTER is out (that is why it is called Batter Interference) and both runners go back (runners cannot advance on batter interference unless attempted throw out runner is in fact throw out, then batter interference is ignored). With two outs, the runner at third it out and tell the batter you will see him next inning.
