Regarding this play, and all the various permutations, would it be safe to say the if the free throw shooter did not get two shots then this could be corrected under the time limits of the corectable error rule? Would it be also safe to say that the throwin error could only be corrected up to, but not including, the point at which the erroneous throwin was completed?

I don't believe so. The throw-in error can also be corrected at the same time as the free throw provided there hasn't been a change in possession after the game continued without the merited free throw.

So, A1 misses the second shot of the erroneous one and one. Team B rebounds the missed shot. When is it too late to give the ball back to Team A because the foul was intentional?

That's a good question we haven't covered in this thread yet. Since A1 shot two free throws, this isn't an issue of not awarding merited free throws but of failing to award a throw-in which is not correctable. I would say you have a period of a second or two to realize the ball should be dead beyond which you have committed an uncorrectable error. From a technical point of view, when the clock starts is most likely the point of no return.

A1 got both of his free throws, once B has a live ball on the court, I'd say it's too late based on the precedent of the case plays already mentioned.
