First, the example you give in this post is NOT what you said ion your previous post (it might be what you meant).
Second, when it's a dribbler (not an interrupted dribbler), the player commits an OOB violation as soon as s/he steps OOB, not when s/he touches the ball while OOB, or when s/he returns from OOB and touches the ball.
Third, going OOB (and returning) from "momentum" is allowed -- this would NOT (likely) be a dribbler.
