Speaking ASA, the prevailing rule is 8-7-P:
"[The runner is out] When, after being declared out or after scoring, an offensive player interferes with a defensive player's opportunity to make a play on another runner."
So I would say the BR is out in all three situations.
Similar language is found under NFHS 8-6-16c and NCAA 12.8.7. And none of them require intent on the offensive player.
It can't be this straightforward, though, if you're bringing the question here from another board. I'm curious if there's a hang-up with intent.
