Catcher holds on to the ball- can B1 try to advance?
What if catcher does not hold on to the ball- is B1 out?

Was it an "
uncaught (note that I didn't use the incorrect "dropped") third strike?" Yes.
Were there two outs, or was first unoccupied? Yes.
Conclusion: B1 can try for first, whether F2 now "holds on to the ball."
