True- 9-9-2.
Team control exists during a pass, and a pass is not a try, which would have ended team control.

Except there is a specific nfhs case play (9.5) which states that a player may throw the ball off his own backboard and retrieve the ball without violating. Does that same play ruling negate a backcourt violation? Probably, but if not I’m deeming the thrown ball a try for goal, not a pass, per 4-41-2.

Perhaps, but it may also be permissible to ignore the contact per the note to 4-19-1. The specific language of that note does say contact after the ball has become dead and in this case we have a ball which is dead and have yet to be made live prior to the start of the game, so there is a small semantic issue. However, the spirit and intent of the rule is to not penalize what would otherwise be a normal contact foul during a dead ball period. The official should only penalize if the act is deemed intentional or flagrant.

False- 4-19-1.
Technical foul.
6-1-2-B: The ball becomes live when: On a throw-in, it is at the disposal of the thrower.

Per the same rule cited above, this action should likely be ignored and not penalized.
