When does the ball become dead?

If I'm reading correctly the ball becomes dead in the exception listing when the shooter returns to the floor.

Is the foul on B2 ignored unless it is flagrant or intentional?

No.

The ball is still live (the ball hasn't gone through the hoop), so it's a common foul. A2 shoots 1-1 (if in the bonus), or just add the foul to B's total and start the next quarter.
