If playing an official basketball game, if you throw a ball out of bounds into the seats does the person have to give it back to the ref or can you keep it like in baseball?

No, you most certainly can't keep a basketball from a game, and that goes for any league. Basketballs are not like baseballs. Also, baseball have ball boys to keep up with the baseballs, and there aren't any ball boys in basketball. Homeruns in baseballs are kind of like mini charity events, as the crowd keeps them for souveniers, but basketball is different. Basketballs cost more than puny baseballs, unless they are special homers or if they are hit by special players.

Well, in my country i was watching Euroleague basketball game and the ball somehow got in my arms (that was a big block, and i was sitting in 5 row) And i kept the ball, and nobody asked to give it back. :) Still have it

Nope, you can't keep it here. The official explanation is that basketballs are much more costly to produce than baseball. The "unofficial" explanation is that David Stern is a tightwad and a jerk in general.
