Is a switch leap a B skill only if it hits 180? What are other commonly performed B skills for L7 floor? And why is it so hard to just find lists of A/B/C/... skills online?

A switch leap must reach 135 to get B credit. Other common B skills:

Front Pike/Layout
Back Layout 1/2 or 1/1
1.5 Turn
Straddle Jump
Schushunova
Tuck Jump 1/1

Dd's switch leap is hit or miss so her coaches are playing around with 1 1/2 turn instead.
 
Don't you also need at least one jump or leap that hits 180 - like it doesn't need to be the switch, but somewhere in the routine you need to show a 180 something or there is a deduction.

There is a deduction for not hitting 180°, but it isn't that big a deal as long as they are close.
If the leap is being counted on to be one of the B skills for SV, then hitting the minimum angle is better than missing it because they would lose the SV and take the max deduction.

There is a special requirement at levels 6-10 of a "dance passage with a minimum of two (2) different group 1 elements (leaps, jumps, hops), directly or indirectly connected, one of which is a leap (one foot take-off) requiring a 180° cross or side split position."

However, the same type of rule applies to this special requirement as getting credit for the "B" on a switch leap. I believe as long as an athlete hits 135 degrees on the leap in the dance passage, they get credit for the special requirement. Of course if it is less than 180 they are still getting a deduction for insufficient split still.
