I hope you don't mind a little help on #2 above -
2. If a player, who has picked up his dribble, throws the ball,
moves his pivot foot, then catches the thrown ball, it is a violation.
It used to be an illegal dribble violation, but I seem to remember it was changed to a travel violation, which doesn't matter so much as the penalty is the same.
