Live ball penalty comes first. Defensive pass interference. This should be 15 yard penalty with an automatic 1st down. In your example, you really didn't say if the pass was caught or not. If it was caught, and the offensive team decided to decline the penalty, then so be it. However, I assume the pass was incomplete. 15 yards and automatic first down, the ball is moved to the 35 yardline of A. Then comes the dead ball personal foul. 15 yard penalty against A with an ejection of the player who threw the punch. So, the ball would go right back to the 20 yard line. And it would be first and 10 for A.
