1. A2 shoots bonus free throws.

A1 shoots his and 1 with lane cleared, followed by A2 shooting bonus
free throws.

2. Two points for Team A.

Did A3 attempt to hit it towards the basket?

Since it went in, I have to say yes.

Not necessarily. If A3 was trying to grab the rebound, perhaps thinking there was enough time to catch and shoot, then this basket wouldn't count.

The way I understand it, if he had attempted to tap towards the basket, count the points. If he wasn't, then the basket doesn't count.

It's a judgment we'd have to make, and one for which A3 would get the benefit of the doubt. It would have to be obvious he wasn't trying to tap it in the basket before I'd wave the basket off.

Given the situation in the OP, considering the time remaining, I think it would really take something unusual before you wouldn't consider it a tap.

That actually WAS a hot button issue a few years ago. The scenario was when a pass was deflected and ended up in the basket.
