Now, #1 sees they're starting at the top of the lineup and comes up to bat following the last name of the lineup in the dugout (#10) -- Do I now have #1 re-entering as a batter in the #2 slot following the FLEX (who is the illegal sub) in the #1 spot in the batting order?

Suppose they get all the way back thru the lineup down to the bottom -- do I now have the entire team re-entered as illegal subs because of the FLEX inserting themselves in the batting order?
No ... you only have one illegal sub - the FLEX. After that, once B2 took a pitch, she legitimized the BOO on B1 and becomes the correct batter ... and the rest of the batters are all batting in order. B1 has used her reentry at this point.
