So you agree that even in the second intentional foul (throwing elbows) the defender should have been awarded free-throws?

A Player Control foul is a common foul. An Intentional foul cannot be a PC foul.

The combination of free throws and the throw in is the only thing that distinguishes an intentional foul. Without it, it's just a common foul or a PC foul.

Yep. Otherwise what would be the purpose of designating it an IF?

Yes, of course. The penalty for an intentional foul is always 2 shots and the ball (ignoring a couple irrelevant exceptions).
