Also, we have kids learning the euro step, with some games where it is never called a travel and some where it is always called a travel. Where is the best place to find the rules on traveling? If an official has called something in error and continues to call it in error, what is the best time and way to explain your position to the referee?

The gather happens when the player catches,and has control of, the ball. Does not matter whether the player caught a pass or was dribbling. Once the player moves his pivot foot, the player must either shoot or pass before pivot foot comes back down.
A couple bucks will get you the rule book from the NFHS.
At that level, the euro step is rarely executed legally so an official would be right most of the time calling it a travel. Traveling is a call that an official has to be watching for and if they arent watching for a travel violation, it wont be called.
