The biggest difference between an intentional foul and a 'regular' foul is that the offended team retains possession after the free throws.
Note the part in red above. That's the additional penalty for intentionally fouling a player. It matters not what the player is doing when he is fouled (except in the one instance in which he is attempting a three point try) - he gets two shots for that action.
