All this is acceptable but....when the ball was tipped and rolled around on the 1, a Receiving team player B was running towards the end zone and kicked the ball from the 1 back through the end zone. No other players touched the ball. Is the ball dead on the 1yrd line where the Player A tapped it out of the end zone, before being kicked by defensive/receiving team player B? Is there any penalty?

A's jumping into the end zone, with or without touching the ground, is immaterial. Where the ball was at the time of touching is material, & you didn't specify it.
When you say a player of B kicked the ball, did you mean deliberately, or just that the foot happened to contact the ball?
