My question: Are both free throws awarded no matter whether the first is made or missed? Or do we only shoot as many free throws necessary to decide the outcome of the game, thus if A1 missed the first, the game would be decided and ended without a second attempt?

Absent any state/local rules that supersede:
If there's no time on the clock, clear the lane spaces and only shoot the required throws. If the first is missed, the game is over.
