also if the player wanted to do a jumpstop by catching the ball with 1 foot on the floor & jumps off that foot, and lands on the same 1 foot, has the player established a pivot or we have to wait till his 2nd foot touches the ground based on your reply on no.1 where the 2nd foot needs to land in order to make the 1st foot pivot.

Again with a true jump stop, there is never a pivot foot established nor can their be. Yes you could catch the ball standing on one leg then jump off of the foot that is not a pivot foot, and land simultaneously without a violation but you cant pivot after that. You can then lift either or both feet but neither can return to the floor as this is a travelling violation.
