Cameron - if one player is OOB, can it legally be a held ball?

Example: In the run of play, ball is already in-bounds. Player B grabs at the ball while player A is in possession, and player B steps out while establishing a held ball. It would be an OOB violation on player B and A gets ball, right? B can't establish the held ball if they step out first.

Similarly, I would think the case cited here would result in a bizarre OOB call on A if they actually put the ball over the line and allowed B to tie them up legally while they were standing out of bounds. Wouldn't want to be the ref that had to call anything on this!
