Unfortunately, that is irrelevant. The violation is not for touching the ball in the backcourt. The violation is for being the first to touch the ball after causing the ball to go into the backcourt.

When the ball backs up and hit the ref in the frontcourt, then the ball has frontcourt location (rule 4,4,4). A1, in the frontcourt, grabs a ball that is in the frontcourt.

Again, true, but irrelevant. Who caused the ball to go into the backcourt? (By that, I mean who touched it last before it went into the backcourt?) A1. Who was the first to touch it after it went into the backcourt? A1 again. Violation.
BTW, rule citations are given with dashes, not commas. Just for clarity (so we know if we're talking about a rule or a case play), your citation should look like 4-4-4.

In Rule 9,9,1 you have to assume that the player in front court went into backcourt to retreive the ball

Why would we assume that, when it's not written there?
