Good question and you can only get better on making the calls by seeing it again and again.
Concerning your questions:
1. Since the player stopped his dribble and took off from one foot he must land on both feet at once to complete the jump stop. To do anything else will be a violation.
2. Since he completed the jump stop by landing on both feet at once, he may lift either foot to shoot or pass the ball prior to the foot returning to the floor.

Had a girl in a game yesterday, 4'10" who has perfected the jump stop to overcome her lack of height. She did it perfectly throughout the game. Always landed on both feet. Coach of other team never said a word.
