Not yet. If any member of Team A is the first to touch the ball, then it will be a violation.

*Can a free throw shooter be the first one to touch the ball? How about for someone behind the 3-point arch? Can they run up and get the rebound as soon as it hits the rim?

Yes and yes.

*Once and for all, can someone explain over and back with a simple rule? For instance, do both the ball and both feet have to be in backcourt for it to be called?

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking here, to be honest. If A1 has control of the ball, either holding or dribbling, then once the ball has frontcourt status, as soon as either A1 or the ball touches the backcourt, it's a violation.
So how does the ball get frontcourt status? If A1 is holding the ball, then the ball is in the frontcourt when A1 is touching the frontcourt but is not touching the backcourt. If A1 is dribbling, then the ball is in the frontcourt when both of A1's feet and the ball are in the frontcourt.
Hope that helps.
