To pass the ball, the dribble must end. Most one handed passes I see turn the ball sideways and this case sounds no different. In the original #1 scenario, the "passed" ball went by a teammate and hit an official. I've inferred that the distance the ball traveled was inconsitent with pushing it to the floor but was actually a catch and throw.
My all cases was to cover whether it hit the floor or not, hit the official or not, etc.
If the ball was pushed to the floor as if a bounce pass to a teammate that was really close, I would agree that it could be considered just part of the dribble.

One case I gave ivovles a player who is dribbling, then changes the angle of his downward push on the ball to initiate a bounce pass. If the player goes to recover the ball, with or without contact with the ref, that recovery is legal.
Even though we al know it was an attempted bounce pass and not a dribble, nothing that the dribbler did ended the dribble. He simply pushed the ball to the floor again.
That is the only case I can think of where the dribble would not be ended with a pass. Not that common (but may see it a couple of times a game), and probably not what the original poster intended.

For the #2 case, it would always be legal to pick up the ball.
