You need to check the definition of a technical foul in 4-17. You will see that part of the wording is "a foul by a non-player" or something similar.
Therefore, such a foul would have to be a technical foul.

I don't believe so. The basis of the NFHS ruling was that only one technical foul was not enough to compensate the offended team for being deprived of the three-point attempt since they could only score two points from the ensuing free throws, thus two technicals and four FTs were required for fairness. That would not be the case on a two-point attempt.
