No. Heart murmurs are usually caused by turbulent blood flow around leaky or otherwise insufficient heart valves. Sustained ventricular systole is not a real condition as far as I know.

Would turbulence of blood flow through the aortic valve give rise to the first heart sound?

No. The heart sounds are caused by the closure of heart valves. The first heart sound is caused by the closure of the AV valves (tricuspid and mitral). The second heart sound is the result of the closure of the aortic and pulmonic valve after the completion of systole. Turbulence of blood flow through the aortic valve would cause a murmur (an abnormal heart sound) during systole.

How would heart function be affected if the av valves did not completely close during ventricular contractions?

When the AV valve did not completely close during ventricular contraction, the pressure of the blood drives the cusps downward that cause the blood regurgitate (flow back) into the atria when the venticles contract.The stroke volume would be decreased and cardiac output would decline. The condition you describe is called a heart murmur.
