I would consider a player touching a ball on it's downward flight, plus the fact that it went in, goaltending.

Yup, yup. Don't forget that the offense can be charged with goaltending too.

Just coming back to this one - what about a botched alley-oop play? Ball is tossed/shot by A1 from outside the arc, and A2 doesn't time his jump right, and only gets a couple of fingers on it as it's coming down, before it gets to the cylinder. He deflects it just enough that it somehow bounces off the backboard and goes in. Is that still considered goaltending?

Judgement call. If you felt that the thrown ball/shot by A1 had a chance to go in, then it's GT if A2 gets it on the way down. If you didn't think that the ball had a chance to go in, then it's a legal tip and the basket would count.
