I did not allow this substitution on the basis that the pitcher should pinch hit (or pinch run) only for the DH.
Was I correct?

Yes, by most interps. The rule only states "pinch-hit", but it's a reasonable (imho) extension to make it "pinch run" as well.

Another question that came up in discussions after the game. Can a double switch be made on offense as well as defense?

I think it's really the same question.
