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?

The rule does not require that the defender be stationary upon contact. The defender is even allowed to have both feet off the floor upon contact. The defender just can't be moving forward and initiate the contact.
