These situations are very straight-forward under the new rules. Team control has been established when A1 has the ball for the throw-in. Since a tip (by a player on either team) never ends team control, any common foul by Team A is a team control foul.

As I said, these situations are very straight-forward. (Other situations are decidedly NOT.) The whole purpose of this particular rule change was precisely to eliminate free throws in the situations you describe.
