Not sure what that means. Because fouls are based on how the contact affected the play, not the severity of any contact.

Help me here, so if a player is shoved to the floor AWAY from the ball and does'nt affect the lay up in progress, no foul? I dont think so. Back to the original... the pass is not affected by the slap on the arm (hand is part of the ball, if ball is in hand) so you do not call a foul. So player goes up for a lay up and ball goes in, player while still air born gets clocked as player b tries to block shot. No foul, the contact didnt affect the path of the ball, right. I dont think so !

You seem to be missing the point.If a player is shoved to the floor you have an intentional or flagrant foul,and that has NOTHING to do with advantage/disadvantage.
Read 4-19-1:
A personal foul is a player foul which involves illegal contact with an opponent while the ball is live,which HINDERS an opponent from performing NORMAL offensive or defensive movements.I read that to mean that it may be illegal contact,BUT if it does not keep the offended player from normal play it is incidental contact and is not a foul.
By that standard if a player gets slapped prior to shooting or passing we SHOULD wait to see if they can complete a normal play.
As for,"Getting clocked after the ball goes in and before they return to the floor," that depends on if the defense
did something illegal to cause contact,if they did you have a foul.
