After reading CAREFULLY this time...
1) Intentional grounding. I presume this was the intent of the scenario. Pass elgibility rules apply only to legal forward passes. Options to B. Accept the foul and knock off 5 yards from the spot of the pass and lose a down making it 4th/18 from the A 7 OR decline to accept the results of the play leaving 4th/20 from the A 5.
2) The touching by B is ignored because B23 was blocked/pushed into the ball. Further to that, because A recovered the kick on ignored touching the ball becomes dead at the A 27. The remaining question is what to do about the foul. I suppose the option is to B. Take the ball on your opponent's 27 or we move them back 10 and do 4th down again from their 10.
3)Players of either team are allowed to bat a pass or fumble in flight. It wasn't entirely clear to me if B was in-bounds when he crossed the goal line in (a). If he was, touchdown in either case. If not, B's ball 1/10 somewhere on about the A 1 in (a) and touchdown in (b). Possession of a live ball in the opponent's end zone is always a touchdown.
