But as I'm standing there making sure that nothing extra happens after the play, the shooter's team is very vocal about an intentional. So before I went to the table I asked my partner, "Did you have an intentional on that?" He said, "I didn't have anything". (Which, at the time, I thought he meant that he didn't have a foul!! Later, I asked him and he clarified that it was definitely a foul, but he wouldn't have called it intentional.) So I went with a normal 2-shot foul. When the shooter's coach was still upset about it, I said to him "I checked with my partner and he had the same thing, Coach."
Do you think that's a no-no?

Yeah, I don't like that.
I would prefer in your play for the non-calling official to come in with arms crossed - even if he doesn't have a whistle - if he thinks it's worth it. I have no problem going for help, but this is one case where I wouldn't, looks too indecisive. But that's just me.
