If he misses the first and makes the second then the table calls the officials over to tell them it was 1-1 then why wouldn't this fall under being rewarded for unmerited free throws?

Neither statement which you wrote is correct because your first statement was that the ball is dead on the miss because of the official's incorrect info. That is untrue, the ball is not automatically dead. As part c of the Case Book play states, if both teams go for the rebound anyway, then play should continue as normal and the ball remains live. Also, when only one team goes for the rebound or neither an official must whistle for the ball to become dead. That's also in the case book ruling.
Your second statement about the correctable error is wrong because this situation would only become such if a 2nd FT attempt were to be administered following the 1st attempt being unsuccessful. That wasn't part of the scenario, so there's no CE. This is merely a mistake by the officials.
