Answer 1

It's quite simple

select * from tableA
where status = 'InActive'
and not exists (select * from tableB where tableA.AID = tableB.AID)

Answer 2

select tableA.* 
  from tableA 
  left join tableB 
    on tableA.AID = tableB.AID 
   and tableA.status = 'InActive' 
 where tableB.AID is null 

The not exists from Szymon is correct and may be more efficient

Answer 3

Here you try.

select *
from #table_one
where Status = 'InActive'
and not exists
(
    select 1 from #table_two where AID = #table_one.AID
);
