Obviously this is a mistake on the official's part. Unfortunately the NF Rules states that if you grant a timeout to the wrong team, they still have to give the timeout by rule.

The reality is if this was clearly a mistake and noticed quickly, I would go with an inadvertent whistle and give the ball back to Team A and shoot the FTs. I do not see many evaluators getting upset with that remedy.

Peace
