2. The player may jump off that foot and simultaneously land on both. Neither foot can be a pivot in this case.
So the point is if he is running and he catches the ball on his right foot then has neither on the ground and starts his dribble this should be legal as he has not established a pivot foot yet. He would be able to land on both feet (but not have a pivot) or start a dribble and continue moving.

Are you saying a player who catches the ball, while running, with his right foot on the floor, can lift his right foot before starting his dribble?
