You cannot penalize a team when offended against. Not giving A the chance for the ball to fall in and get 3 points, and thereby taking away a potential point, is effectively a penalty against A. B committed the violation, so the award to A should be three points.

A shot needs to be a try/tap at the beginning of the shot - you can't make one retroactively.
As to the rules not penalizing the offended team, I think that happens from time to time. I seem to recall the discussion about a sub coming off the bench and (cleanly) blocking a last second shot when the team is down 3. Technically, you have one T, the ball is dead - oops, the team that violated got a pretty big advantage there.
