Is this a violation, and why?
Is the language from 4.15.4 Sit. D RULING: "Violation in (a), because the ball was touched twice by A1's hand(s) during a dribble, before it touched the floor." the only source for a violation in this instance?

The key words are DURING A DRIBBLE.
If you used that ruling, pushing the ball to the floor with both hands to start a dribble would be a violation.
