1) A1 and A2 simultaneously catch a forward pass:

(a) A1 & A2 return to the ground simultaneously A1 in bounds and A2 out of bounds

(b) A1 returns to the ground first inbounds, A2 second out of bounds

(c) A1 returns to the ground second inbounds, A2 first out of bounds.

These aren't simuiltaneous catches, partner. Simultaneous applies to a ball caught by two opposing players. And yes, you are correct that the offense would retain possession.
