SECTION 38 RESUMPTION-OF-PLAY PROCEDURE
The resumption-of-play procedure is used to prevent delay in putting the ball in
play when a throw-in team does not make a thrower available or following a timeout or intermission (unless either team is not on the court to start the second half) as in 7-5-1 and 8-1-2. The procedure results in a violation instead of a technical foul for initial delay in specific situations.

The word "or" is key here.

That's right. Did you notice that the second disjunct is otiose? Wouldn't it suffice to say "the throw-in team does not make a thrower available"?

No. The first part applies only to the "offense"; the second to either team.

Why would you put the ball on the floor if the defense was late returning from a time-out or intermission?

You wouldn't. You would hand it to the offense and they would score uncontested.
