so by some of your description NEITHER of these is a jump ball?

a. is a held ball
I have a difficult time answering b. because your writing isn't clear. Was A1 airborne and attempting a try or pass which was prevented from being released? If so, then that would be a held ball as well, but if A1 was merely holding the ball and never tried to pass or shoot, then it wouldn't be a held ball as clearly control was able to be established without undue roughness.
BTW the proper term is held ball. A jump ball is when the referee tosses the ball in the center circle.
