The answers are:
1. No. See Case Book p. 51, 7.6.3A and 7.6.3F. There is no violation since it is a live ball and the defensive restrictions on a throw in deal only with penetrating the throw-in boundary plane.
2. Yes, a bounce pass can be thrown to a teammate who is legally out of bounds along the same sideline during a throw-in, assuming you are referring in this instance to a throw in after a field goal which is NOT a designated-spot throw in. (On a designated-spot throw in, no teammate can be out of bounds--a technical foul--and the thrower-in is to throw the ball directly onto the court. The restriction on a teammate of the thrower being out of bounds after a throw in begin applies only to a designated-spot throw in; rule 9-2-12.) There is no restriction on the kind of pass (bounce or all air?) that takes place.
3. No, the 5-second count does not start over if the ball is passed to another thrower. A team has 4.9999 seconds from the time the throw in starts (when the ball is at the disposal of a player of the team entitled to it; 4-41-3) to release the passed ball so that it goes directly into the court (4-41-4). If they want 1 or more players to take part in consuming that 4.9999 seconds and they can do so legally, so be it. When the count hits 5 seconds, it is a violation.
