Two rules seem to conflict:
9-2-11: No teammate of the thrower shall be out of bounds after the designated-spot throw in begins -- this appears to have been violated as A2 was out of bounds after the throw in began, and would suggest that B's throw in is on the endline at the original throw-in spot.
4-42-5: The throw-in ends when: b. The passed ball touches or is touched by another player out of bounds -- this appears to suggest that the throw in ends with the touch and the throw in for B would be at the sideline spot by the out of bounds violation. But if A was out of bounds for the touch, then they must have been out of bounds after the throw in began (and before it ended), which violates 9-2-11.
So... would you consider this a throw-in violation like the OP and bring the ball back to the original spot for B's throw-in, or is this different?

I guess you'd have to determine which happened first.
Did A2 touch the ball and then step out of bounds, which would result in a throw-in for Team B on the endline.
Or did A2 step out of bounds and then touch the ball, giving Team B a throw-in on the endline.
Reminds me of the "tie goes to the runner" call in baseball. There's no such thing... one happened before the other, and it's your responsibility to figure out which.
