Connections 'to' A's phone over WiFi from some external device?
I'd say most peoples smartphones have WiFi on all the time, unless they were specifically trying to save power etc?

Probably and even if on and searching for networks to connect to the vast majority these days are encrypted and need a password before any data connection is established (save for the one between the devices to authenticate).
Of course having the thing hunting around all the time uses battery.
