Rules and Stats Questions

I had a disagreement with a friend today about a few rules and stats questions:

1 - On a dead ball situation, can the inbounder get an assist?

 

crap, accidental post, ok so continuing

for example, when taking it out after a foul, and you're under your own basket, and you simply toss it to the wing for a 3pt shot, do you recieve an assist for that?
OR
In a similar situation you are doing more of the "creating" by faking one way, and hitting a cutter for a layup, do you recieve credit for an assist
OR
When taking the ball out after the opposing team makes it, if you throw a long lead pass, do you get an assist for the subsequent shot?


2. If you hit a cutter for a shot which would normally be an assist and a layup, but he gets fouled and misses, if he makes a free throw (or both) does the passer recieve an assist?

All of these are based on NBA rules
