As I interpret the OP, the issue is what the pitcher did with his pivot foot. If things were as described, F1 lifted his free foot, stepped and threw to 1b. As presented, I don't have a balk. He did not move his pivot foot, which, while awkward is not a balk.

It is perfectly legal for a pitcher to step and throw to an occupied base while in the set position. There is no rule difference between what an LHP and an RHP may do.
