Question: Was he correct? Or, is it proper NFHS mechanic for the Lead to administer the throw-in below foul line extended? Is there anything that says it's an option for either Trail or Lead to administer?
Assuming you mean the ball goes out on the sideline below the FT line, the Lead should administer this. The way I was taught, if the ball goes out on your line, you administer the throw-in. Since the Lead administers and it's on your partner's sideline, you should bump up and be the new Trail on your side and he'll just move down and become the new Lead on his sideline.

2) I'm Trail (opposite table). My partner calls a foul in his area, in front of team B's bench. I switch and become the new Lead (tableside), ready to administer a throw-in, with ball in hand. My partner reports the foul, turns to me and says he's got it, with his hands up requesting the ball. I gave him "googly eyes" as if to let him know that I have it. He refused to go opposite table as the new Trail. So I gave him the ball and remained the Lead, but opposite table.

Question: Was he correct, again? I don't think so, but I can't seem to find anything that confirms either way.
I don't know what he's doing on this one. As far as I know, NFHS says to switch on all fouls, and this wouldn't be switching. You're right on this one.
