If you blew your whistle, then looked up, the interpretation is that the time taken to look up is the exact same time to stop the clock. When you look up and see 0.3s left, you need to reset to 0.3s and allow the game to continue.

This is where it got really tricky. He said that the kid dribbling up the court stopped and took three steps to shoot, so he blew his whistle (simultaneously, apparenty) for the travel. As he thought play was over, he waved off the travel. So in his estimation, we had a timeout, a travel, and a turnover. We awarded the ball to team A with the three-tenths left. The decision was well received by all, but it felt a little wierd to me. How could we know for sure if the travel came first? It would have been quite close. But he whistled it, so we enforced it.

Like JR said, once you have a TO, there can be no travel. So the team that had the endline throw-in (team B by your accounting that A scored from the sideline throw-in), gets it again with a tap possible.
