1. Over and back: Throw in from near half court, offensive player jumps from frontcourt, catches ball in mid-air, lands in backcourt. Is this over and back?
Yes

2. Player is out of bounds without ball. Must player have both feet back in-bounds before touching the ball?
No

3. Top of backboard, how is the ball determined dead on a missed shot that goes over the backboard, touches the top and comes back into play, etc.
If it touches the backboard supports it is out of bounds. The top of the backboard is in bounds.

I believe it is out of bounds if it goes over a rectangular backboard, but I'm not too sure on that one without my rulebook with me.

4. Can I player catch his own shot if the shot is an air ball?
Yes
