Sure it can. A player may pick up his dribble, take one step, hop off of that foot and land on both feet. Often you'll see the player then jump off of both feet for a shot.
No!

Once the dribble is picked up, both feet become eligible to become the pivot. When the step is taken the non step foot becomes the pivot. A hop of off the stepped foot, as you describe, picks the pivot up, still legal at this point. When the pivot lands you now have a travel violation. Casebook 4.33 says nothing about dribbling and a jump stop. It covers the momentum of receiving the pass in the air and continuing on.
