Some friends and I have been going back and forth on this:
B1 intercepts in B's endzone and is downed there after scrambling around in the endzone. After the interception and prior to B1 being downed in the endzone, B2 blocks A2 in the back.
Where would you mark the penalty off from and what would be the results of the play?

You left out an important piece of information, that being; Where did the foul by B2 occur?
Thus, I will give you two answers:
Since in either case the final result of the play is a touchback (See NFHS 10-4-5d), the basic spot is the succeeding spot (the B 20 yad line), Therefore:
a) If the foul by B2 occured between the B20 and the B goal line enforce the penalty from that spot since the run by B ended (by rule) at the B20 yard line, AND the foul (again by rule) occured behind the basic spot. (See 10-4-5d)
b) If the foul by B2 occured in B's endzone, the result of the play is a safety. (See 8-5-2c)
