You can access the currently queried object with the get_queried_object() function and then check to see if the category has a parent or not. If it has - display posts in it, if it doesn't display all categories belonging to this category.

Here is an example code to do that:

$category = get_queried_object();
if ( $category->parent ) {
    // This is a sub-category
    get_template_part( 'internal-products', 'list' );
} else {
    // This is a main category
    get_template_part( 'internal-products', 'categories-list' );
}

What this code will do is that it will include a theme file called internal-products-list.php or internal-products.php if the current category is a sub-category. Otherwise it will include either internal-products-categories-list.php or internal-products.php.

You can of course just write all of your code within the if/else blocks - that's up to you.
