Thanks in advance!
a. illegal
b. illegal
c. legal if dribble was interrupted

In a and b when you say A1 "retrieves" the ball, I have to assume he has control. Pushing or throwing the ball to the court constitutes a dribble. Returning to the court, "grabbing" the ball and dribbling again would be a violation. He could "continue" the dribble as in c without violating.
