Great situation
ASA 4.D.1.c & 4.D.2.e both speak to the out being when the batter is scheduled to bat.
The light out situation I agree there should be 2 outs, and why not try to get the third out? take a pitch or two, then there can not be a situation like what happened. At the very least the ump needs to mark both books with the second out.
As for the delayed steal. I would say the run is good. Since the runner stole before the open spot was scheduled to bat. As soon as the pitcher has the ball and the runner returns to the base is the play over and the open spot is scheduled to bat.
A side note, the catcher should have just asked for time. The second it is given inning over.
