Although I may be splitting an extremely fine hair, the answer to the second scenario may not be so clear.
Under 7-5-7, a thrower-in "may pass the ball along the end line to a teammate(s) outside the boundary." Does "outside the boundary" modify "teammate" or "pass the ball along the end line"?
If the former, at the moment A1 set the ball down (assuming this is a "pass"), A2, who was in-bounds, was not "a teammate outside the boundary." If not, then 7-5-7 does not save Team A from a violation.
If the latter, then 7-5-7 would apply.
Unless there is a 15 year-old case, no longer in the book, that says....
