Team A now has a front court throw-in at one of the four designated spots, what should be done with the shot clock?
2) At the 26 second mark, after advancing to the front court B2 commits a travel.
Team A now has a back court throw-in at a designated spot nearest the violation, what should be done with the shot clock?

In 1, set the shot clock to 20 seconds. In 2, the shot clock remains off. The reasoning behind that is that 30 seconds include both the 10 seconds to cross from the backcourt to the frontcourt and 20 seconds to get a shot off while in the frontcourt.
In situation 1, since A receives the ball in the frontcourt, they do not need the additional 10 seconds to cross the division line. However, they do need time to cross the division line in 2. Because the full reset causes the shot clock to be greater than the game clock, the shot clock is turned off.
