The line is out of bounds. You have to step onto the court or not the line to be considered in-bounds.

Yes in NF rules. It NCAA rules no you cannot if the issue is going out of bounds. Not sure the rule applies to the backcourt.

A lot you are asking here. That depends on what you call a jump stop. But if you jump complete a legal jump stop after a dribble being stopped, then yes you cannot use a pivot foot. If you are talking about catching the ball in the air, the first foot or both foot may be used if the right things take place.

You cannot roll over while on the floor. It is not a matter of length or timing. But of course you must have possession of the ball. And rolling over would not be by many considered simply turning.

-Meaning if defender A is closely guarding offensive player A while the closely guarded count is at 3 seconds and then defender B switches over to offensive player A while defender A is no longer closely guarding the offensive player.

It does in NF Rules. NCAA rules require a different count for a different player.
