1) I'd have to see the play to see how far away the first baseman was from the ball, but the way you describe it, I've got runner out on interference.
2) Again, I'd have to see it, but I think you've got no fault on the BR. Maybe obstruction, but in this case, I'd only award the BR first.
I'm speaking FED rules here.
If I'm wrong, please correct me with rule references.
