Gettin there.
Nope and nope. If he lifts the pivot foot, he must pass or shoot the ball. It is only a travel if he starts a dribble after lifting the pivot foot, or if the pivot foot touches the ground again with him still in control of the ball.

In order to call a backcourt violation, he needs to acheive front court status. So I take it the ball and his front foot already have touched the front court, so his back foot must also touch in the front court. If he just picks up his back foot and puts it back down in the BC then there is no violation.
