Was I supposed to allow her to complete her 2nd attempt at the pitch, and wait to see the result of the play?

IIRC, in that situation, once the pitcher begins her pitch (hands come apart), then she stops, she has committed an illegal pitch for not releasing the pitch. This is a dead ball illegl pitch. At this point signal dead ball, and give the appropriate reward.
