Am I correct that if an IW occurs while the ball is in player possession, the basic spot for any fouls committed during that related running play is the dead ball spot (i.e., location of the ball when the IW was blown)?

In other words, the basic spot is no different than if the ball had become dead by some other means such as the runner taking a knee.

Correct. But the enforcement spot may not necessarily be the basic spot.
