That is not what is in the OP

That is an out no matter which way you want to spin it. Any subsequent rule application must apply to another runner.

This is a "big bucks" play.
Decide instantly if the tag was controlled and successful, before judging the INT possibility.
Obviously the runner caused hindrance to the catcher after that.
Then, if BR/R2 was not advancing or retreating; play on. If then, the catcher attempts a play on R2 that might succeed, rule INT and R2 is out.
