I don't officiate NCAA rules but I'll take a stab at it:
Team A cannot keep the ball. If they accept either penalty, it's B's ball. If they decline the penalty, B would get the ball at the spot of illegal touching. That would be the best option for A, since B would get the ball at their own 4 yard line. 6-3-2a,b
Under NF, Team A could keep the ball. To keep the ball, Team A must decline both penalties. Touching the ball by A18 is not illegal touching, it's first touching. Team B is only allowed to take the ball at the spot of first touching if they do not touch the ball and then foul afterwards. When they fouled, they lost the privilege.
