1) As stated above, correct that an offer on a check swing can not be appealed. The PU will not call it a swinging strike unless he is 100% sure that there was a swing, and if he's 100% sure, then why would he need to ask his partner? To the best of my knowledge, "breaking" the wrists has never been the determining factor for an offer at a pitch. That's just a myth.
2) NSA Rule 6-6-d states "There is no more than one revolution of the arm in the windmill pitch. The pitching arm may be dropped to the side and to the rear before starting the windmill motion. The ball does not have to be released the first time past the hip."
