<p>For these questions, just flip it.
what makes sense?</p>

<p>The actors stopped, awaiting for further instructions from the director, uncertain how to proceed with the scene.
or
The actors stopped and awaited because they were uncertain how to proceed with the scene.</p>

<p>See how B would be a better choice?</p>

<p>Alternate explanation.</p>

<p>As commonly used as it is, await for is an incorrect usage of await.
Await already means wait for.
AWAITING FOR further instructions is wrong.
AWAITED further instructions is correct.</p>

<p>As a matter of fact, there is an acronym AFI which stands for Awaiting Further Instructions</p>
