No call in #3. Again, the screen served it's purpose.

Foul in #4. The screenee proceeded right through the screen by use of contact that knocked the screener out of the way.

For number 1, 2, and 3, the assumption is that the screenee didn't see the screen in time to stop. If they saw the screen in time to stop or divert but still plowed into the screen, it would be a foul in most cases....not based on the advantage but to keep the game from getting too rough.
Agreed on 1, 2 and 4.

On 3, I think it's a HTBT. If the screenee falls on the screener becuase s/he continued to run through the screen, then it's a foul. If the screenee attempts to stop, but the "upper body momentum" causes the fall, then it's a no call.
