No. In the first place, 3 seconds is about 3 times too long to wait. In the second place, she stopped, waited 3 seconds, moved and stopped again. She is out immediately at that point. The second stop is illegal.

Yes, it was appropriate.

No. Some, maybe, but not a lot. 3 seconds was way too long, even for 10U.

Don't worry about 10U parents. They are absolutely the least informed and the worst WRT yelling at the umpire.
What got you in trouble was not the call per se, but your own hesitancy in making the call. Quit waiting so long; be far more decisive and definite in the call.
