Is the fan supposed to be there? Would a fan normally be in this position if the clock was running? Is he in the bleachers behind the goal? If not, and he simply moves to this position to distract the shooter, then we have a fan that is interferring with the proper administration of the game. He's in a position where he has no business and where fans are not normally allowed. Now, if he's in the bleachers behind the goal and he's allowed to be there, then fine.
As for your cheerleaders, if on the baseline is where they normally are, then there's nothing wrong with them cheering during a FT. However, if they are standing, then you can certainly make them sit, as the rules allow for this. But the rules do not allow you to tell them to stop cheering.
