No, any type of interference is against the rule. It is similar to a pitcher unintentionally hitting a batter.
As it is true that the interference does not have to be intentional, there are occasions where there might be "interference" that is not called as such. i.e If a batter takes a pitch and a runner is stealing a base, if the catcher throws the ball and hits the batter or his bat, while the batter is still standing in the box, this is not called interference
Torts such as assault, battery, false imprisonment, and intentional infliction of emotional distress protect against intentional interference with persons.

Yes, a batter can be called out for interference if they interfere with the catcher’s ability to make a play. This typically occurs when the batter steps out of the batter's box or makes contact with the catcher during a pitch. The umpire has the discretion to determine if the interference affected the play. If deemed intentional or significant, the batter is ruled out.
Runner interference is typically scored as an out for the interfering player and may also result in the affected fielder being awarded the base they would have reached without the interference. If the interference occurs while the ball is in play, the umpire will call the interference and determine the appropriate penalties based on the specific situation. If the interference is deemed intentional, it can lead to further disciplinary actions. The exact scoring can vary depending on the rules of the league or organization governing the game.

Offensive interference in baseball occurs when a player on the offensive team hinders a defensive player's ability to make a play. The consequences can include the batter being called out, runners being sent back to their original bases, or the play being ruled dead. Umpires determine offensive interference based on whether the interference was intentional, whether it affected the outcome of the play, and whether the defensive player could have made the play without interference.
