No, not fear. Horror and revulsion.

What is the different between fear and horror?

2. If B in the past tense.


At the time she said, B was thinking, but at the moment B is doing something else, maybe also thinking.


The main meaning in two tenses gives a clear answer to A's question : B didn't hear what she said. Why not the present tense ?

because if A said that " i'm not listening", it may be he say that he was thinking about something at that time, not A's question

^ agree with you. past continuous worked well with the question. I think that tense also show the time from when "he wasn't listening" to the present, that he was thinking something include, that's all appropriate with the usage of that tense.

^ the word "fear" always uses for people while "horror" does with things, not folk :P

you are just thinking too much. When A ask about something that happened in the past, B should also answer about the past, as simple as that.
