Yes the ball was legally in the front court because when the players teammate caught the ball in the air it automatically had front court stats because he had jumped from his front court. So over and back is the right call. The three points in the front court only applies to a dribbler not someone holding the ball.
You are correct though that the rule was changed in the second senario that you describe. This was done to not penalize good defense. But the rule was not changed with regards to offensive teams.
