If A1 has already dribbled, then it's a double dribble to recover the ball. If A1 hasn't already dribbled, then A1 can recover the ball.

2)How about if player A1 pass to what he thought was a teammate and realized it was not and try to hold back the pass but it sliped out, can A1 be the first to recover it before it touches anyone else?

The official must judge whether this was a pass (see ruling 1) or a fumble. IT's legal to recover a fumble.
