If the ball is in the shooters hands and is touched by the defender for a "longer" (more than momentary) period of time... this is a jump ball.
If the ball leaves the shooters hand, is blocked and the shooter gets the ball back....as mentioned before, is nothing and play on.

Second situation clearly says ball tipped out of player's hands. It is not in the shooter's hands. Therefore, no further info is needed - this is a free ball once B tips it away from A, and a can catch the ball while in the air and have full rights to come down, pivot, dribble, etc.
