B1 is not gaining an advantage, they played good defense or A1 made a poor throw-in pass, but in either case neither A1 nor B1 did anything to keep or lose the right to the arrow.
A kick is different because it is, in itself, illegal. a deflection isn't. See the difference?
Nope, with regards to this rule, there's no difference.

Again, if the throw-in rule said "The throw-in ends when the ball is LEGALLY touched inbounds," the situation would be different. But it doesn't.
