Throw-in spot

A1's try is successful. Does Team B get its throw-in at the designated spot closest to the foul up along the sideline, or is the ensuing throw-in anywhere along the BC end line?

Throw-in to the offended team at the spot closest to where the common foul occurred. If that spot happens to be on the endline, then the throw-in can be made from anywhere along the endline. If the closest spot is not on the endline, then it's a designated spot throw-in on the sideline (in your example).

Would it matter if it were an intentional foul? (Excluding NCAA Women's from part two of this question)

In HS, there is a difference, although it doesn't come into play in this particular example. In FED rules, the penalty for an intentional personal foul is 2 (or 3) FTs and possession of the ball for a designated spot throw-in at the spot closest to where the foul occurred.

So in your play, the outcome is the same. It's a designated spot throw-in on the sideline after the FTs. However, if the basket had been successful and the foul had occurred near the endline, the offended team would get 2 FTs and a designated spot throw-in on the endline. They would not be allowed to "run the endline".

The rationale is that the intentional foul already gives the offended team two FTs, and running the endline is a "double advantage" that they shouldn't have.
