I don't see an input file.

Yes you can use the same trajectories (so long as you understand the
approximation that you're making -- namely that the conformational states
sampled by a subset of your system is the same as in both the bound and
free states). Yes, you will need a complex prmtop that has the residues of
both A and B, a receptor prmtop that is just residues A, and a ligand
prmtop that is just residues B.

If they are not in either the receptor or ligand, yes you do.

I'm confused. Do you still have an error? Just horribly wrong binding
free energies? Is everything working, just the C/D, or is nothing working?
