None of them are really that hard. I was waiting for others to comment but since it has been pretty quiet...

Correct. A backcourt violation is not possible until after there is team control inbounds. A2's deflection does not establish team control.

Incorrect...the arrow is set at the FT only for a common foul. For non-common fouls, it is set when the subsequent throwin is administered.

Legal. A1 gained team control of a ball that was in control of team B while in the air. A1 gets to land normally with one or both feet in the backcourt and it doesn't matter where the first foot down lands.

Correct...the game can not proceed until a DQ'd player is replaced.

Correct. The jump ball and the jump ball restrictions end when the ball touches the floor (or a non jumper). At that point, any player can catch the ball.
