Before the ball has a chance to go in, I yell, "No shot", because I don't want the basket to count if it goes in, it doesn't, but I do award two shots for A1 being fouled in the act of shooting, that is his first shot motion, not his second shot motion. How far does continuation continue? Was this the correct call?

No, it was not if he's airborne.
There's no such thing as a "second shot motion." If he releases the shot before he returns to the floor, the basket counts. The act of shooting does not end until an airborne shooter returns to the floor.
