There's no way to tell about the rhyming factor (acc to that definition), but A certainly is not written in iambic pentameter.

Answer 2

Yes, you are correct. Line A, "And passing even into my purer mind," is not strict blank verse. Blank verse typically consists of unrhymed iambic pentameter, which means each line has five pairs of unstressed and stressed syllables. However, line A has six stressed syllables, making it not strictly conform to the regular pattern of blank verse. Well done!
