NLH Decision – “more angles than a protractor!”

I understand that this is an angle shot, but I'm still struggling to see the what B was trying to accomplish. Could someone explain what he's trying? The OP said, "It turns out he had a strong hand but not the immortal nuts." Is he just trying to see if A has the nuts? If his hand is that strong, doesn't he want A to bet as much as he's willing to? The premature call just stopped A from putting in more chips. If A continues putting in chips, I assume B would try to fold, saying his action was out of turn? So either way, B says "call" and really intends to either fold or raise? Obviously, if A stops putting chips in the pot when B says "call," he wouldn't call a raise if B was allowed to make it. So I don't see how this move can be +EV for B, other than not calling the bet if A continues making it (and the dealer allows him to fold rather than call).

I think most of your non-quoted questions have now been covered/answered elsewhere.

Anyway, I couldn't understand Player B's tactical logic either for all the reasons you mention.
