Official blows whistle, sends player out, explains errors to coaches, beckons sub to the free throw line to shoot.
Now...
1.) Is this a correctible error?
2.) What should be done with the first successful free throw point? leading to...
3.) How many shots awarded to sub?

1) Yes, it's a correctible error, as per NFHS rule 2-10-1(c)- "permitting a wrong player to attempt a free throw". It's also corrected in a timely fashion as per rule 2-10-2.
2) The first successful free throw is cancelled, as per rule 2-10-4.
3) A1's substitute will shoot both of the free throws that A1 had coming- as per rule 2-10-6. The teams will line up along the lanes as per the same rule.
