My understanding:
1) You can dribble AND pass the ball to another player out of bounds under certain circumstances. A "fumble" as you describe would also be ok as long as the ball is recovered and then legally enters (is passed onto) the court w/in 5 seconds.
2) A ball passed onto the court must go directly onto the court. It can not be a "bounce pass" or fumble where the ball bounces out of bounds and then onto the court.
From 06-07 rules
Rule 7: Out of Bounds and the Throw-in
Section 6: Throw-in Administration
Article 1
Art. 1... The throw-in starts when the ball is at the disposal of a player of the team entitled to the throw-in. The thrower shall release the ball on a pass directly into the court, except as in 7-5-7, within five seconds after the throw-in starts. The throw-in pass shall touch another player (inbounds or out of bounds) on the court before going out of bounds untouched.....
