If the touching on the leg gives it frontcourt status than we have a backcourt violation if not than we don't.

You are correct. Since A2 is not dribbling, his/her touch doesn't benefit from the "3-points touching entirely in the frontcourt" part of ball location rule. A2 causes the ball to have the same status as his/her location merely by touching the ball. When A1 then touches the ball again, it is a backcourt violation: team A had team control, the ball gained FC status by A2's touching, A2 was the last to touch the ball before it returned to the backcourt, then A1 was the first to touch the ball after it returned to the backcourt.
