This sounds more like DMC. The batter is out and R1 ended up at 2B. The defense had opportunity to make play at 2B and simply chose not to, they threw to 1B instead.

Now if F2 is trying to throw to 2B to make a play on advancing R1 and the throw somehow hits retired batter now you got something!
Situation b is a pick of attempt of r1 going back to first base that the batter runner got hit with the throw. If the umpire judges the retired batter interfered with the play on r1 at 1st it should be ruled interference.
