I was not sure if it pertained to the attempt to retire the B/R only.

The 3' lane is to prevent the BR from interfering with the ability of a defender to receive a throw at 1B, from anywhere.
I agree, this is not INT unless the retired player did something to INT. Running to 1st on a batted ball is NOT an act of INT.
