2nd and 10 for A on its own 30. A1 runs 25 yards and throws the ball forward to A2 which hits the ground and recovered by B. wouldnt the play be blown dead at the B45 where the forward pass was thrown?

No. No foul causes the ball to become dead. The incomplete forward pass will cause the ball to be come dead though.

where is the penalty administered and what down will it be?

The penalty will be assessed from the B45, the spot of the foul. It will be 1 and 10 for A at the 50 after the 5 yard enforcement.
