No, unless that touch knocked the ball to the floor.

I doesn't have to be knocked to the floor for A1 to lose player control and therefore regain the right to dribble again. For A1 to lose player control, he would just have to not be holding or dribbling a live ball inbounds. If B1 knocked the ball completely out of A1's hands, even if it was straight up in the air, A1 could then recover and dribble again.

You don't have player control if you fumble, but you can't dribble, fumble, dribble can you?

You don't have player control during that fumble, but you still maintain the original team control. That's why you can't legally dribble again when you recover your own fumble. If another player touched the ball anytime during that fumble though, team control is immediately lost- and whoever subsequently gets control of the ball now starts a brand new player control (and team control also), and thus can legally dribble, pass, shoot, etc.
