To those seasoned officials...yet another question

If the player's position were such that he felt you were straight-lined, then yes, he could call a foul in that area. The mechanics manual says that we are responsible for calling anything that we see, regardless of who's "area" it is. Whether there was a foul or not on this play, I have know way of knowing.

Secondly, if you have an obvious blocked shot with a push afterward, do you go to the line for two?

Can't tell you the answer to that without seeing the contact. In some instances, no, and in others, yes.

What does the floor being slippery have to do with any of this?

The floor actually caused b1 to come into contact with A1. That is the reason that I didn't call a foul, plus I didn't see a disadvantage because B1 had already blocked the shot.
