Legal, or illegal, for NFHS rules, when the official is 100% sure that it wasn't a try?

Legal in NFHS. Give the benefit of the doubt to the offense if unsure on whether or not it is a Try.

NFHS Rule 4-15-1: "... It is not part of a dribble when a ball touches a player's own backboard."

So it's legal in high school and below, and the NBA is more permissive in nearly every conceivable way, so ... LEGAL!

I agree that it isn't part of an illegal dribble (double dribble), but can it be considered traveling (movement of the pivot foot in excess of legal limits) when the official is 100% sure that it wasn't a try?

For NFHS there is a specific Case Book ruling that throwing the ball off the offensive backboard and getting it is perfectly legal.
