Well, let me say that most people, probably 99%, do not play by NBA rules when they play pick up games. normally, HS or college rules are the norm. That's also why you're not getting many responses to your questions.

How is the dribbling path to be interpretted in this case? Is it allowed to go through the defenders forearm? Through the defender? By extending this logic, what is there to prevent the player with his ball setting the end of his dribbling path right under the basket, and keep inching his way backwards until he gets there?

All the defender has to is hold his position. If you back in and displace him, you've fouled.
