Almost right.
In (a), the ball becomes dead immediately when the violation occurs. What happens next depends on the status of the ball at the time of the violation. If it had not been released, you'd continue by shooting 2 FTs for A, with the lane cleared, awarding the ball to B for the violation after the last FT. However, if the ball had been released, A1's first shot will have been completed. It can't score since it is a dead ball and but isn't replaced.
Regarding (b)...
I can't find it in the casebook but there was once an interpretation/case/situation published that indicated that (IIRC) a defensive violation for leaving the court when an obvious scoring opportunity was in progress is to be delayed (not ignored) until after the shot since calling it would be an unfair advantage for the defender. But it was to be penalized after the shot....same thing with a technical foul called on the defensive team in such a situation.
So, IIRC, in (b), the violation doesn't make the ball become dead when the ball is in flight but it is still a violation. Shot counts if it goes and A completes the FTs with no one along the lane. A's ball for the violation after the FTs. One thing isn't clear in the rule is whether the ball becomes dead immediately if it is before the release but after A is in the shooting motion. The other parts of the 6-7-9 Exception specifically mention that they apply when the try is in flight.
Either way, A's getting the ball after the FTs are complete.
