1) If A1 goes down from the contact (even though they weren't standing completely still) is it a charge?
2) If B1 goes down or loses the ball, no foul?

Well you said the defender was moving forward and makes contact. If that is the case then in #1 you would not be standing still.
I have a foul in both situations because the contact clearly caused an advantage or disadvantage to the players. And anytime contact causes someone to lose the ball and the player was not in a legal position, then that is a foul. But the problem I have with the question is the first play the defender is either moving forward or he is not.
