All the answers you've gotten are correct. I'm just going to add some detail that may help you understand going forward. If it doesn't help, I won't be offended.

First thing to remember is that intentional fouls are always 2 shots and possession of the ball at the spot closest to the foul, whether it's during a try or not, whether the try goes in or not. There's no "and-1" with an intentional foul; it's just 2 shots and the ball. The only exception is if a player is intentionally fouled during an unsuccessful 3-point try. In that case, the offended player shoots 3 free throws. But other than that one case, you're going to give two free throws to the fouled player, regardless of what else happens.

Second thing, as JRutledge has pointed out, is that POI plays no part in an intentional foul administration. Possession of the ball is always part of the penalty. In your case, if you use the POI, you get a very unfair result. You have an interruption during a try (no more team control) that is unsuccessful. If you go to the point of interruption, you have to use the possession arrow, which could easily give the ball to the team that committed the intentional foul! Not a good outcome.

So don't think in terms of POI when dealing with intentional fouls. Just think 2 free throws to player who was fouled, and possession of the ball to that player's team at the spot closest to where the foul occurred.
