Yes, he can.

if A1 is dribbling down the sideline and he steps out of bounds to avoid a defensive player, can he be the first player to touch the ball after establishing himself in play?

It depends.
Was the dribble interrupted prior to the dribbler stepping OOB? If so, no violation.
Was he still dribbling when he stepped OOB, even if he didn't touch the ball when he touched OOB? If so, violation.
