Once the rebound is secured (in the front court), FC status has been achieved, and a pass to the backcourt teammate would be a violation.
2. You are correct. Starting to raise your arm means nothing, but it does get you some heat from coaches and fans. Slow down, and consentrate on slowing your whistle down a second. This will help you make sure you saw what you thought you saw. Quick whistles often lead to inadvertent whistles, which are never good.

I totally agree with Dan and Snaqwells. On your 1-Also question, there's just this distinction to be made. If A "bats" or "tips" the rebound into the backcourt and never really gains "possession" then the play is legal, although you'll get some words from B's coach and fans. If there's very much control at all, it's probably possession, and then the play is illegal.
