Out-of-Bounds
A player is out of bounds when any part of his body is in contact with the floor or any object on, above or outside of the boundary lines. The ball is out of bounds when it touches a player who is out of bounds, or the supports or the back of the backboards or it touches the floor or any object on, above or outside a boundary line.

If a player is standing on the out of bounds line and gets hit with a ball last touched by the opposing team, who is it out on. Isn't the player standing on the line by definition already a part of the out of bounds area?

If a ball hits you and you are standing out-of-bounds, the ball is out on you and the other team will get possesion.

if that player was the last to touch the ball before going out of bounds, then no.

If you are standing with both feet in the court but you lean and catch the ball outside of the court before it touches the floor or any other object from a pass is the ball still in play??

If the ball bounces without touching the board and goes to the backboard is it a violation or not?
