The way I am interpreting this is, once the ball touches F3 as in the OP, the ball is live and in play. If the ball had passed F3 and F2 was able to make a play, INT. And notice, other than the pitcher. So if the batted ball is touched by the pitcher and hits the runner, INT IF it has not passed all fielders and they could make a play.
Incorrect. The clause "other than the pitcher" modifies "passed all infielders." It has nothing to do with touching.

Incorrect. This is not INT in FED.
