Now what would I have to do if player B thought they were in no condition to shoot the 1 and 1?

I'm a little confused here because of your way of identifying players, but the substitute for the injured player shoots the one-and-one if the injured player can not stay in the game.

Had a situation the other night where team A is clearly violating the baseline on a throw in. I didn't call anything because I wasn't sure how to administer it
Do I go to the table and report a team warning and each additional violation is a team technical?

For future reference, Team A is the offense. I assume you mean the defense (Team B) is breaking the boundary plane on a throw-in by Team A? If so, blow the whistle and report a delay of game warning to the scorer and Team B's coach. If any of the four delay of game situations happen after that, it is a team technical.

Still a little confused on hand signals. When I am the trail official on a free throw. I understand to give a hand count away from the shooter. However do I put my hand up when the shot goes up and chop it down to signal the clock to start if necessary or to signal a point scored? If i'm a trail official on a throw in a teams front court do I have my hand up and chop the clock along with the lead official?

As the Trail on a free throw, I count with my front hand and chop the clock with my hand that is closest to the table. When the free thrower starts their motion, I raise my hand and close down toward the endline, then chop it if the free throw is missed. Do nothing if it is made, as the new Trail will chop the clock.

You only mirror the Lead's chop as the Trail in 3-whistle mechanics.

If I'm a trail official in the back court and the ball handler is clear on the other side of the court is it okay if I move in towards the center of the court to get a better view or should I work the sidelines?

I assume you mean in press coverage? Yes, if the ball goes to the other side of the court, work toward the middle to get a better angle if you need to.

I see a lot of situations where Team A player will shoot and team b screens them out after they shot but before their feet hit the ground is this a shooting foul?

A's player is still an airborne shooter until they get a foot back to the floor. If the contact is significant enough for a foul, they are considered a shooter until that happens. If it is after the shooter returns to the floor and he/she is displaced it is a non-shooting foul.
