Sorry, but it's not a pass. By the definition you just quoted, a pass is to another player. But in this play, A1 threw the ball to himself. So it can't be a pass.
Instead, I direct you to Rule 4-15-1: "A dribble is ball movement caused by a player in control who bats (intentionally strikes the ball with the hand(s)) or pushes the ball to the floor once or several times."
That's what happened here. A1 threw the ball and let it bounce; that's pushing it to the floor. If it had gone to another player, it would fit the definition of a pass. But since it didn't go to another player, it must be a dribble.

So what it was a ball looking for player control A1 gets to the ball and picks it up again itÂ’s nothing and A1 still can dribble.

If A1
catches the ball, then s/he has ended the dribble and may not dribble again. If A1 merely bats the ball to the floor and continues to dribble, that's fine.
