Due to A2's previous location being in the frontcourt, I call an over and back violation. Is this correct? Does it matter if the pass-back is a tap or with two hand?

APG posted the appropriate case play.
"But
jTheUmp", you say "that case play deals with a non-airborne player, and my situation deals with an airborne player."
The fact that the player was airborne doesn't make any difference. Airborne players retain the status (inbounds, OOB, front court, backcourt) that they had prior to going airborne. Or, as has been more eloquently stated here previously:
"You are where you were until you get where you're going"
tl;dr: You got the call correct, it does not matter if the pass (or tap) is with one hand or two.
