I don't know.  Since it's not forbidden, I see no particular reason for
A not to.  Maybe it's easier.

No, because B hasn't received that packet yet.  Remember, I was
postulating that the two packets cross in transit.  Thus these...

...are the same two packets as above, just as seen by their receivers
rather than their senders.
