Wow! In a word. Here is my take.
The awarding of bases on the pickoff has got to be yours and only your call.
Your read is the feet. The PU is the hands therefore its your call. Get together tell him what you saw and that it will stand.
The DP at second...I would be inclined to call him out on the front end of any DP unless the SS or 2nd baseman is taking a throw like a firstbasemen.
The last incident...I can only ask where the hell your partner was. Once a coach touches me, he is gone. I don't care. Once he has made his point in a short period of time, the response is--coach I heard you...the call stands.
Your partner has got to come in---step in between you and say we are done.
As for the line that "you are ruining his career" --Self imposed hardship is not a hardship. If the guy acts like a jerk--what ever you respond with ---he earned. Previous responders got it right...once you eject someone thats it. Thats why you need to get with your partner and discuss what happened and be sure thats what you want to do. In my game...thrown bats and equipment and performances earn you an early shower.
If the federation is eager to insure than sportsmanship of the game then we enforce it even when coaches can't figure out why.
