Team A fouls and it is the 7th team foul on Team A. Team B lines up for the 1+1. The official bounces the ball to the free throw shooter who receives the pass. A teammate of Team B violates (is in a marked lane space and steps out to the 3-point arc). The violation is called. Team B coach requests that the wrong shooter was attempting the bonus. What is the ruling if the officials (a) know that the shooter was not the right player or (b) do not know that the incorrect shooter was at the line.

Team B violates is not an immediate call... wait for the results. If misses then shoot again.
Wrong shooter is your fault and is a correctable error. see 2-10. Erase the points get the correct shooter.
Team B cannot step out trying to force enforcement the rules. All he would have had to do was say "That's not the right shooter." before you passed him the ball.
