Ok, you say that the defense doesn't get set in time, so I'm assuming that if there's any foul call to be made, it's against the defender. If the foul is on the shooter, in either situation, then it's a player control foul; the ball is dead immediately, no points can be scored on the try, and the game is over.

This is a foul against the defender while A1 is in the act of shooting. So if the shot goes in, score it and shoot one FT with nobody on the lane. If the FT is good, game over. If it misses, we have OT.
If the 3-point shot misses, then shoot 3 FTs with nobody on the lane. If all 3 FTs are made, we have OT. As soon as A1 misses one of the FTs, the game is over.

b) Shot begins but is not released, horn sounds, ball is released, then A crashes into B as an airborne shooter. Shot is good or misses.

You say "shot begins", so we have A1 in the act of shooting. But since the ball has not been released on the try, the horn causes the ball to become dead. Therefore, the contact by B1 is ignored, and the game is over. See Exception 3 included in Rule 6-7.
