If team A was up by 2, then call it and the shots will be taken to determine if OT is played?
Finally, if Team A was up by 1, then shots would be taken and if both are made, then Team B wins?

This was an unfortunate display of poor behavior which marred an otherwise tremendous contest. #1 certainly could have been whacked and it would not have resulted in any FTs. The Section Office could handle the penalty and still may elect to take disciplinary action. Without being able to hear what was said, I can't give an opinion on whether a flagrant T would have been appropriate or not.
To be clear the officials were moving off the court on that end of the floor, but had not yet departed when this action caught their attention. One of them stepped between the two opposing players and got the winning team's player to move away, then some administrative people stepped in and the officials left.
There was also some unfortunate verbal follow-up between this player and the head coach of the losing team during the postgame handshake.
You are correct about what happens when the lead is 2pts or 1pt.
