Situation-- batter swings and his backswing interferes with F2's return throw to the pitcher?

Nothing.

Follow through interference is only interference when F2 has a play to make and is hindered. So if no runner is stealing just ignore it (perhaps a friendly reminder to the batter to control his bat)

I agree.

Although the cases and interps that I can find either have no runners (where it's obviously nothing) or a stealing runner (where it's obviously something).
