The answer I got was no, that if you lift leg and runner hasnt broken at time of lift, even if he runs after you lift, you have to continue to 1B or pitch, cant turn and throw to 2B. If the runner leaves before the leg is lifted you can.

Again, you were told wrong.
NCAA has verbiage to the effect that:
- Once the leg is lifted, F1 can't throw to the base behind him
- Once the foot crosses the rubber, F1 can't throw to the base he faces
- Once the leg starts forward, F1 must throw to home
(You can get the book online for the exact wording)
The same concept applies in all codes.
In your play, F1 is at the first bullet above -- so the opnly base he can't throw to is the one behind him.
