One rule of thumb I was once taught was 80% ball/20% contact on a blocked shot is a clean block. Any less ball/more contact and it becomes a foul.

With this thinking in mind, #1 could and probably should be ignored where #2 could and should be a foul. If A1 had not yet returned to the floor at the time of contact, it would be a shooting foul. A1 is a shooter from the time he starts the shooting motion until he's returned to the floor. The try ending does not change that point.
