in your case, no contact so dead ball nothing, but you say the elbow was thrown with intent, so you have an unsporting T at the minimum. But in all reason ability you have nothing except a quick chat with the player to watch his elbows as justifying intent in this scenario is tough. But a T could be warranted and backed, just tough in most cases.

The way you described is the correct sequence. You cannot negate a legally granted TO.
Actually that is an intentional technical foul. The most common example is a shove during a dead ball period.
