Snap on A15. QB scrambles into EZ and Under pressure throws to the 7, where no eligible Team A receiver is (only OL members). Safety

However, make "small" change - Pass is (intentionally) tipped by B50 at the 5 (tipping of the ball hasnīt change trajectory of the ball, ball was sinking and there was no doubt, it wouldnīt cross line of scrimmage). A70 (became eligible) catches the ball at the 5 and let say, is downed immediately. Is this still intentional grounding and therefore a safety?

Pass was definitely thrown where no (originally) elibigle receivers were, however landed at spot, where eligible receiver was and moreover, it was complete, not incomplete pass. With other words, is it necessary for ruling an intentionally grounding foul, that the pass is incomplete? (There could be another scenario, where the pass would be intercepted by B50)

I'd have to see it, but its unlikely I'm calling IG on a tipped pass unless there's just nobody in that zip code.
