My question is if this would be considered a foul against the player, or a traveling violation since the player went up and down without releasing the ball - since he started to travel before he was fouled(to me it seems that the traveling violation should take precedence).

Whatever happens first is what takes precedence. To paraphrase Yoda, "Started? Started? There is no started. Either travel, or travel not."
By this logic, a defender should try to foul a player so hard he can't release the shot, therefore causing him to travel.
