In 2), she is still in the process of advancing from backcourt to frontcourt, the bat, or push doesn't constitute control in the frontcourt, and the play is legal. (The backcourt 10-second count continues.)

Have you really ever seen a player back across the division line while dribbling?
Agree, with one small addition. In 1, it is a violation even if the player did not catch the ball. A touch with both hands would end the dribble. Ball would then have frontcourt status.
