Need some help on this one

I'm in the process of transitioning to 3-man and was working a scrimmage tonight with two other newbies (with one of board members supervising). Here's the situation we had:

A had 3 team fouls, B had 5 team fouls. A leading by a couple of points with about 30 seconds left in the game.

I'm trail and A1 is dribbling the ball with B1 closely guarding. B1 then reaches and makes contact with A1. I call the illegal use of hands and, before I can move to report the foul, A1 turns and bounces the ball. The ball bounces and glances off B1 (nothing intentional in A1's action in my opinion) who takes exception and flings the ball into A1's head. I call the T on B1 (should've tossed him, I know, but bear with me). As I'm walking to the table A1 apparently gets behind B1 close enough to check for lice and is telling him what he can do with himself. One of my partners whacks him with a T for unsportsmanlike.

My question(s) are:
  1. The first foul by B1 gave B 6 team fouls putting A in the bonus on the next common foul. The two technicals were, I believe, a false double technical foul and each should have carried it's own penalty (i.e., A shoots two, then B shoots two, then B gets the ball at the division line). Is that correct?
  2. What about if the technicals occured at approximately the same time making it a double technical? You count all the fouls toward each teamls foul count (A would have 4, B would have 7), don't shoot any free throws, and go to the point of interuption (in this case a throw in for A where A1 got hacked), correct?

Any help in untangling this would be appreciated.
