What is missing is that part where team A is the last to touch the ball "before" it gains backcourt status.
The recent NFHS interp, however, essentially states that #3 and #4 can happen at the same time.
Now, if the ball had hit another A player rather than B1 and then bounced into the BC, it's a violation.

Yes, it is a violation.
A was the last to touch the ball when A2 grabbed the ball in the air, still in the FC.
The play is no different from B1 tipping a pass from FC A1 that deflects off of FC A2 into the BC where A2 recovers.
