One page (assuming it fits within one page).
7.19.1, "break-after"
Specifies that the first normal area generated by formatting the
next formatting object, if any, shall be the first one placed in a
particular context (e.g., page-area, column-area).
7.19.2, "break-before"
Specifies that the first area generated by this formatting object
shall be the first one placed in a particular context (e.g.,
page-area, column-area).

So do I.

I think m2, since B follows A in a pre-order traversal order.
7.23.3. "retrieve-position"
last-ending-within-page
Specifies a preference for retrieving the children of an
fo:marker attached to an area that is within the containing page
whose "is-last" trait is set to "true" and that follows in the
area tree any other similarly constrained area that is attached
to an identically named fo:marker, using pre-order traversal
order.
