Also: Should the Alternate official being voluntering information with out being asked? I think not.

No. 1 second is correct. you have to allow the timer 1 second to stop the clock. And, no, the alternate needs to keep his mouth shut unless he's asked. That's my opinion, since I've never had an alternate.

My question: If the Referee saw there was 1.9 seconds on the clock when B1 was requesting a time out to the Umpire, could 1.9 seconds have been put on the clock? Or would .9 be put on for the 1 second lag time? Or is it OK in this situation to just call the game as was done?

It doesn't matter when TO is requested. That has nothing to do with it. When the whistle is blown, the timer has one second to stop the clock. If the whistle wasn't blown until the clock was at 1 second, then the game is over. It makes never difference what the time was when the TO was requested.
