  We report on X-ray (NICER/NuSTAR/MAXI/Swift) and radio (MeerKAT) timing and
spectroscopic analysis from a three-month monitoring campaign in 2022 of a
high-intensity outburst of the dipping neutron star low-mass X-ray binary 1A
1744-361. The 0.5-6.8 keV NICER X-ray hardness-intensity and color-color
diagrams of the observations throughout the outburst suggests that 1A 1744-361
spent most of its outburst in an atoll-state, but we show that the source
exhibited Z-state-like properties at the peak of the outburst, similar to a
small sample of other atoll-state sources. A timing analysis with NICER data
revealed several instances of an $\approx8$ Hz quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO;
fractional rms amplitudes of ~5%) around the peak of the outburst, the first
from this source, which we connect to the normal branch QPOs (NBOs) seen in the
Z-state. Our observations of 1A 1744-361 are fully consistent with the idea of
the mass accretion rate being the main distinguishing parameter between atoll-
and Z-states. Radio monitoring data by MeerKAT suggests that the source was at
its radio-brightest during the outburst peak, and that the source transitioned
from the 'island' spectral state to the 'banana' state within ~3 days of the
outburst onset, launching transient jet ejecta. The observations present the
strongest evidence for radio flaring, including jet ejecta, during the
island-to-banana spectral state transition at low accretion rates
(atoll-state). The source also exhibited Fe XXV, Fe XXVI K$\alpha$, and
K$\beta$ X-ray absorption lines, whose origins likely lie in an accretion disk
atmosphere.
