On a throwin, team control is required before a backcourt violation can be called.
If control is established inbounds by Team A and Team A loses control of the ball, and the ball moves from the BC to the FC then back to the BC(no control) it is a violation if a Team A player touches it in the FC and then in the BC.
Careful in your terminology. I don't think you meant that team A "loses control" but that a player on team a loses control (player control lost, but not team control lost).

If so, that would be a violation.

Team A can still get the ball without it being a violation. Is the 10 second count continuing in this scenario? Sorry- just cancel that. So Bob J. in this one the 10 second count would stop once it reaches FC, but then would continue again when it goes to the BC?
Correct. Team B was the last to touch the ball before it returned to the backcourt.

Also, don't get confused with "two feet and the ball". That criteria is ONLY used for a dribbler who is moving across the division line. It not relevant at any other time.

When it doesn't involve a dribbler, the ball is in the frontcourt if it touches the floor in the frontcourt or a player in the frontcourt. A player who is not dribbling is in the frontcourt if the player is touching frontcourt and is not touching backcourt or is airborne having jumped from such a position. And it doesn't matter how many feet are doing the touching or even if it is feet at all...they could laying down with their feet in the air. (Same principle as OOB vs inbounds).
