A bunch of stuff going on in this post. As I understand the rule:
1 - If a player is fouled in the act shooting they shoot free throws.
2 - If the players shot is blocked, I'm not likely to call a foul after the shot is blocked as they are no longer disadvantaged. Unless the contact is severe enough to warrant an unsportsmanlike (intentional/flagrant in Fed terms).
3 - If the whistle has not blown to end the quarter/game then the play is live.
4 - Any mild or inadvertant contact at this moment or after the whisle as a result of movement just prior is not going to get called. If their is excessive contact during a dead ball it is going to be an unsportsmanlike.
