The question: "A1's throw-in is touched by B1, who has one foot touching the
boundary line. Official rules this a throw-in violation and awards team B the ball at the spot of the throw-in. Is the official correct?" I believe these are the relevant citations. 4-42-5 says: "The throw-in ends when the passed ball touches, or is touched by, an inbounds player other than the thrower." 9-2-2 says: " . . . The ball shall be passed by the thrower directly into the court from out-of-bound so it touches or is touched by another player (in bounds or out of bounds) on the court before going out of bounds untouched." 9-2-10 says: "No player shall be out of bounds when he/she touches or is touched by the ball after it has been released on a throw-in pass." Under 4-42-5 the throw-in has not ended. Under 9-2-2 A1 action is not a violation. Under 9-2-10 B1 has violated. Thus, in the question in question, ball to A1 at the spot of B1's violation. AND, if the throw-in is an alternating possession throw-in, A keeps the arrow.
