Ozzy I hear where you are coming from about signalling especially working with a rookie or someone you never worked with and although you asked a different question I would like to add to your OP.
Same sitch as you describe and you signal to your partner, HOWEVER he POINTS to you anyway.
Now what do you do?
As PU you have NO CLUE whether the fielder tagged said runner or F3 pulled his foot etc. HOWEVER, a call has to be made because there is LIVE action going on. You have 3 runners R1/R3 and the BR and during LIVE action your partner "out of the blue" pointed to you to make the call at first base.
if you say nothing, remember action is still live so you could have runners continuing running etc.
Therefore, in addition to what you posted what do you do when your partner points to you during LIVE action and you haven't a clue on what the right call is.
I guess someone is going to get dumped.
Good topic
