Who ever last touched the ball had violated if the ball goes OOB. Then you give the ball to their opponent and that starts the AP. So the team that violated after the throw-in gets the next arrow.

A Technical foul Administration is not an AP throw-in. The arrow is not changed or affected by a TF situation.

There is such a thing as a "Flagrant foul." The are not the same as an Intentional foul at the HS level. A Flagrant Foul in HS means the offender is ejected from the contest. At other levels that only applies to a Flagrant 2 Foul.

I have no idea.

I do not know this for a fact, but it is possible that where you are they do not play under all NF rules and have other rules that apply to specific situations. That would not be uncommon depending on the league or the governing body if there is one over those games. I now my state is the only one I have been told that has an Elementary School Statewide Organization called the IESA. And there are often many rules that are not applied from the NF. And all schools are not members of the IESA too. So you get a lot of games with specific league or conference rules that cold apply even in these situations.
