If #3 is not a travel, why does it matter if the individual has used their dribble or not? Since the ball never hits the floor, we are not talking about a dribble here, so you can't give a double dribble violation. So this is either legal with or without having used the dribble, or it is not legal with or without having used the dribble.
I would argue that you have a travel all the time if a player picks up their dribble and then passes to themselves because they have no other option. If that is the case, you have a travel if they haven't used their dribble as well.
As for the travelling quiz, note that the ball hits the floor in BBR's example. That makes the pass a dribble, which can be either continued as in my #1, or picked up (a variation that I did not include but is BBR's quiz question). In my #3, the ball is caught in the air, making it no dribble and therefore a travel.
