Also...if B1 was touching the OOB line in A's FC, again after a long pass, wouldn't the ball be taken OOB at the spot B1 was touching OOB, and not a end line throw in?

I think a Coach would much rather have the ball in his front court as opposed to being able to run the end line...of course, I know, it doesn't matter what the Coach would rather have...it's what the rules state that matters.

RookieDude, you are correct, the ball would be taken OOB at the spot nearest the violation. Running the end line only applies if the nearest spot of the foul or violation by B is on the end line, i.e., they can still gain their "advantage" by committing their foul or violation at a spot where the ball would be taken OOB on the sideline assuming the official awards the ball OOB on the sideline.
