NF High school this should have been ruled a legal forward pass and a successful 2 point conversion. Rule 7-5-2 describes the criteria for illegal forward passes which includes a pass from beyond the neutral zone.
There is no specfic case book play of your situaiton in the NF case book. However, in the Redding Study guide page 39 commentary says this "Notice, a forward pass is legal if it is thrown from in our behind the NZ, so it does not matter if a runner advances the ball beyond the zone and then returns. Also, if the runner crosses the NZ and then flips the ball back to a teammate behind the zone who throws a forward pass, that pass is also legal."
