Well, I'll answer that last part.
When you eject - regardless of what the rules say regarding further action - you are ejecting for THAT game. Even though there are rules in place dictating that he is gone for the next, the umpire should not even bring that up. "Coach, you're gone." is enough.
Then, since you did not mention anything about his next game, the whole thing about whether he is out of the next game or not is out of your hands - thus, if the admin felt he learned his lesson and could come back (debateable, but at 8U I'd err on the side of the kids too), it is no disrespect to your authority at all.
Back to the him opening his mouth wide nonsense... it doesn't matter what you said or meant. His action was basically him saying FU to you, and flaunting your authority. Regardless of your exact words or intent - he should be tossed for that alone (ESPECIALLY at younger ages).
