I understand BU going out on trouble balls from A. It's the ball that appears to be headed to the gap that's cut-off by F8/F9 so that there will be a close play at 2B if BR attempts it. Should BU reverse direction back towards 2B, or does PU take the 2B call?

As Tee indicated, once out, stay out. (except to cover home).
As the ball leaves the infield towards RF, from "A", take a "read-step", make your decision, then act...go out or go in.
Don't worry about second base. Your experienced PU will see you go out and take the runner to first; and, if he tries for second, the PU will be comfortably in the working area behind the mound ready for the play will make the call.
