I'd like to be able to have my AppleScript "open" FolderB2 in list view

If you don't mind using GUI scripting, opening B2 (you want to expand that part of the tree, right?) is easy:

tell application "System Events"

tell process "Finder"

click UI element 1 of group 1 of row [whatever row it is] of outline 1 of scroll area 2 of splitter group 1 of window 1

end tell

but have FolderA at the top.

When you say "on top," do you mean that you want the list view scrolled down to the point that A is at the top of the view?

If so...

tell application "System Events"

tell process "Finder"

set value of value indicator 1 of scroll bar 1 of scroll area 2 of splitter group 1 of window 1 to 0.204

But obviously this would be pretty fragile, possibly breaking whenever files are added/removed. You could add a method that calculates based on the location of A's row.
