is this the same thing as a spot travel?

No. There's no such thing.

And there's no limit to the number of steps a player can take. He/she only need to keep one foot over the spot.

Based on the following information, can the thrower-in have one foot place on the boundary line, and if so can the toe of the foot be in the court while standing on the boundary line? I can not find any passage in the NCAA, NBA or FIBA rule books that states otherwise.

NCAA 2005 Rule Book
RULE 9-5/VIOLATIONS AND PENALTIES
Section 5. Throw-in
Art. 1. The thrower-in shall not:
a. Leave a designated spot.
b. Fail to pass the ball directly into the playing court so that after it crosses the boundary line, it touches or is touched by another player (in bounds or out of bounds) on the playing court before going out of bounds.
c. Execute a throw-in that lodges between the backboard and the ring or comes to rest on the flange.

A.R. 12. During a throw-in by Team A, A1’s (a) foot breaks the plane of the boundary
line or (b) A1’s hand(s) and the ball break the plane of the boundary line.
RULING: No violation in either (a) or (b).

The player may touch the boundary line and may be over the boundary line as long as they're not touching inbounds. It's mentioned somewhere about "carrying the ball onto the court".

Not traveling, but a throw in violation.
Tweet, point other way.

Almost.

Tweet. Raise hand. Point to the original spot with the index finger. Sweep the hand away from the spot in the direction that the player moved. Then point the direction of the new possession.

Mark,
If I quit responding to Y'all, I'd have to stop visiting with my daughter who was swallowed U.P. by Cold Mountain and the Great Smokies.
