Team A's ball. There is no "reestablishment" requirement other than if a player is touching out of bounds and touches the ball, the ball is out of bounds.

Which rule set? In NFHS this would be A's ball but IP. 9-6-2b

9-6-2 would not apply if he was knocked out of bounds when he was stripped and returned at his first opportunity.

I can't tell from your description of the play whether he was knocked out of bounds or not.

9-6-2 also wouldn't apply if there was an IW. Do you want to describe what would happen then? Can you tell from the OP whether there was an IW?

I answer questions based on the info given. The OP doesn't mention the runner being blocked out.

You're kidding, right?

Whether the runner was contacted and caused him to go OOB is a definite possibility in such a play. It's certainly not unreasonable to pose the possibility or the question.

OTOH there's nothing at all to suggest an IW occurred.

Sheesh.

Exactly. If he's not touching OOB, he's inbounds.
