Is this a do over?

Likewise. Only certain things get visible count. And this isn't one of them.

I was told at a camp once, to always have a visual count when the ball is in the backcourt no matter what time was left on the clock, just in case there is a scenario where the clock doesn't start.

FYI, I don't have one in those situations, but should I in case something like this happens?

I always do, for precisely this reason.

If there were only 3 seconds and you're already at 2, I would say it's better to wait one more second and say game over than to blow it dead at this point.

If A1 is about to shoot, I'm ok with that. If he's watching the clock, kill it and restart with 1 second.

In the op the team with the ball is ahead, so a potential shot is not a factor.

Good point.

To my knowledge the closest thing to a "do over" in high school basketball is explained here:

6.4.5 Situation B:

During an alternating-possession throw-in, thrower A1 holds the ball through the end-line plane and B1 grabs it, resulting in a held ball.

RULING: Since the throw-in had not ended and no violation occurred, it is still A's ball for an alternating-possession throw-in. (4-42-5).

IMO a situation which looks like a do-over is an inadvertent whistle while a throw-in pass is in flight. Actually, anything which would warrant using POI in this situation.
