It also doesn’t take into account INT’s brought back due to defensive penalty, which is a extremely lucky occurrence and some QB’s get more than their fair share of those.

On the second part, I have to disagree somewhat. You approach it as if the QB doesn't know that a penalty has been called, or will be called, against the defense. I often see Patrick throw the ball deep into coverage because he is 100% certain there is a penalty on the defense and he is just seeing if he can get lucky. Not all interceptions are of this type, but many are.
