What are the chances that the primary defender will be in the RA when the offensive player is by the three point line?

However since RA doesn't prevent the 2nd defender from jumping to block, would D1 be called for a blocking foul if contact made should he jump up for a block instead of standing still for an "illegal" charge which he would be called for blocking considering he had legal guarding position but illegal since he is the 2nd defender?

It could be a legal play (shot block), or it could be a blocking foul. It can't be a charge. Too many people think it *must* be a defensive foul and that's not true.

(All of the above subject to the rules code being used, of course.)
