So by rounding 1b, leaving the bag, the runner has made her decision to go to 2b. So if she rounds, assuming ball in circle etc...., she can be called for a LBR violation if she returns to 1b at this time ?

No, that runner is now R2 (BR til she touched 1B). In the original post there was a runner at 3B. That runner (R1) is under no obligation to the LBR until the BR touches 1B (and F1 has control.etc.)
Now, if the BR STOPS on 1B, then "rounds" (or moves towards 2B), she is out.
You can also only get one out per play, If 2 umpires call different LBR's they must then figger out which came first (cause the ball is dead on the first violation, you can't have another).
