If B's coach or a player on the floor realized they did not inbound properly even thought he ball was at their disposal, and had not used 5 seconds yet because I'm assuming the official had started the count, could they do the do-over or is the ruling a violation because of the pass and the start up the floor? Or, what happens if B2 after a dribble ot two realizes the mistake, picks up the ball turns and sprints back to the baseline in an obvious attempt to properly inbound the ball? Too late?

Yup, too late. When the FED put this case play in, they explained that it was an immediate violation if the throwing team started upcourt without going OOB for the throw-in. There were no provisions at all attached to the case play-- as soon as a player started up-court with the ball, call the violation right away. If they didn't take the ball upcourt and they're just confused, then let 'em sort out what they're supposed to be doing before you start the 5-second count.
