Let's keep it simple. B1 touching the wall (which is out of bounds) and the ball at the same time means that B1 is called for an out of bounds violation, with the subsequent throwin going to Team A. B1 touching the wall out of bounds is the same as B1 touching the floor out of bounds.

To be out of bounds, a player must touch the floor, or some object, on or outside a boundary line. People are not considered to be objects, so inadvertently touching someone who is out of bounds (another player, a photographer, a coach, an official, etc.), without gaining an advantage, is not considered an out of bounds violation.
