Sit 1: Intentional foul. You did not say if A1 has begun his habitual shooting motion. Because of the nature of case book play writings, I would assume that they had. In other words, "before leaving the floor..." is not a complete picture about the player's action that allow for a correct ruling, including if a flagrant foul should be issued.
Sit 2: Intentional foul.
In both cases, the foul was designed to stop the clock. Wrapping arms around a player needn't be done in a "hard" way, so it wouldn't be an INT for excessive contact. It is however, clearly not playing the ball, and obviously intentionally fouling.
I think that you're confusing the categories of fouls. It is not possible to either of these fouls to be technical, posting Article 5 is extraneous information. As is option 2 in your multiple choice question.
