(a) 3 points since A2 touched the ball beyond the arc.
(b) 3 points since B1 touched the ball beyond the arc.

Since neither is a try for goal, the ball becomes dead upon the buzzer sounding and no goal is counted because a live ball did not go through the basket.
Only when a player who has attempted a try for goal does the attempt extend to beyond the buzzer, and it extends until the try is good or until the try is clearly unsuccessful.

No - all rulings remain the same.

Would it be a 2pt or 3pt goal? I believe it should be a 3pt. goal.

Count 2 points. Once the attempt is judged to be unsuccessful, the try is over {4-41}, and so does the ability to score 3 points without a new try for goal behind the arc. So when B1 tipped the ball, all that occurred is a live ball went through the basket - score 2 points.
