What about this sitch. Player A1 is going for a rebound and slips and falls, on his way down he catches the ball? Is he traveling?

If you fall down with the ball, it is traveling. If you catch the ball on your back, and don't get up, it is nothing.

This is traveling. A player who falls to the floor while holding the ball travels, no matter whether he/she caught the ball while standing on the floor or in the air. See NCAA Rule 4.64.5 A.R. 36.

The same Approved Ruling deals with what happens when a player obtains the ball on the floor and then slides or rolls.
