A1 is bringing the ball up after a made basket. A2 is straddling the halfcourt line - one foot FC, other BC. A1 passes to A2.
If A2 starts a dribble, can he then move completely into the backcourt? Also, are there any other restrictions on his movement?

What if A2, straddling the division line fumbles the ball into the front court, then while still straddling the line picks it up? BC violation?

Yes, violation. The ball gained FC status when it bounced...a fumbler does not benefit from the dribbler exception. When A2 touches the ball again, it has backcourt status. There was team control by A the entire time. A2 was the last to touch the ball that had frontcourt status before A2 touched it in the backcourt.
