Demonstrate your correctness to your partner by the following example:
1-2-2 "The restraining line becomes the boundary line on that side or end, as in 7-6. It continues to be the boundary until the ball crosses the line."
This means it is now the OOB line/plane for that entire side of the court or end of the court because,
9-2-3 "The thrower shall not...Pass the ball so it is touched by a teammate while the ball is on the out-of-bounds side of the throw-in boundary-line plane (except as in 7-5-7)."
Now if the throw-in is from the sideline in the backcourt and you have less than 3 ft of space there, the thrower cannot pass the ball down the sideline well into the frontcourt where a teammate catches it while it is still on the OOB side of the restraining line. This would be a throw-in violation.

As for the player avoiding a player and going out of bounds, it was my interpretation that an offensive player can not leave the boundary lines of the court.

The NFHS was very careful to put "while dribbling" and "to continue the dribble" in this question. It is a violation according to the Note in 9-3. The T for 10-3-3 is not applicable to this question.

Exactly. In my opinion all the NFHS is trying to do is make the point that intentional PERSONAL fouls are inbounded at the spot nearest the occurrence of the foul, while the throw-in following a T is ALWAYS at the division line opposite the table. They are not concerned with which player(s) is(are) allowed to shoot, and the asumption must be made that intentional foul means intentional personal foul for this question.
