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?

Was this a 2-whistle or 3-whistle game?
In either case, the NFHS mechanic is that each official will put the ball in play on his/her own boundary line. So if the ball goes out on the Trail's sideline, the Trail administers the throw-in, even below the free throw line extended.
(This is slightly different in NCAAM, where the Lead will administer the throw-in on the Trail's sideline if the throw-in is below the FT line extended.)

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.

Were you going to be staying at that end of the floor? Or was the foul against the offensive team and now you were going to the other end? In a 2-whistle game, I believe the NFHS wants you to switch either way. In a 3-whistle game, I believe the NFHS says not to switch, but to "slide". I'm not sure about that, though, because the IAABO mechanics that I use for 3-whistle are for us to switch on those backcourt calls.
So your partner was correct in the first case, but I think you may have been correct in the second situation.
