First question the answer is yes, as already pointed out, but it is important to note that there still can only be 4 defensive players. That is, a third defensive player cannot take a space that an offensive player has abandoned.

I assume that your second question addresses a jump ball situation. The tapper (or jumper) cannot catch the ball -- it is a violation. If the jumper A1 catches the ball, team B gets the ball OOB for a throw-in and Team A gets the possession arrow -- both NFHS and NCAA rules.
