With a quick look I couldn't locate rule 43-3(b) assuming you are referencing NCAA rules.
I did find rule 4-66, article 4(a) which is:
Art. 4. After coming to a stop and establishing the pivot foot:
a. The pivot foot may be lifted, but not returned to the playing court, before the ball is released on a pass or try for goal
This would make your original part 1 legal. I will find something in the FED rule and case book this weekend and report back Monday.
I'm done, going home, here comes the weekend
