If it were me, I would:

1) Report the foul on B2
2) Report the foul on B1
3) Shoot the free throw by A1 with players on the lane and the ball is live like normal.

Since the foul by B2 occurred before the foul by B1, then that penalty must come first. Assuming team A is not in the bonus, then the penalty is a throw-in. But since the foul by B1 merits a free throw by A1, then that penalty is administered. Obviously, if Team A is in the bonus, then A2 will shoot their bonus free throws with the lane line cleared, then A1 would attempt their free throw with players on the lane.

I could understand why this would not be covered in a case play or anything as the situation would be weird. It was be difficult to imagine this time sequence occurring in reality.
I agree.

Had the shooter been fouled first followed by the off-ball foul, you'd administer the shooting foul first with no one on the lane followed by the administration of the second foul (bonus or throwin).
