You let Old School confuse you. That is only the case in the NBA. Pinning the ball against the glass is legal in both NFHS and NCAA, so is blocking the ball AFTER it contacts the board if the ball is still on the way up or has no chance of going in.

Yep, that's rule 4-6-4. It is pretty clear, so just reading it will do it for you.
Furthermore, it is BI if a player reaches through the basket from below and contacts a ball that is still outside the cylinder. (4-6-3) You didn't mention that one.

Completely correct statement.
You should also know the statement that for GT the ball must be OUTSIDE the imaginery cylinder. If the ball is inside the cylinder the BI rule takes over.
FT stuff is pretty simple. Normal BI/GT rules apply PLUS the following two additional items:
a. It is also a technical foul to GT a FT attempt.
b. It is GT if the FT attempt is blocked on either the way UP or the way down.
