Are you going to let him dribble again?

No I would not let him dribble again.

But if he had already dribbled - would that have been a double dribble if he picked it up?

And had he not dribbled - do you have anything?

I would have a double dribble if he picked up that ball.

If it had not dribbled, that would be his one legal dribble.

If you wouldn't let him dribble again (a statement with which I agree), then you're judging this action to be a dribble. So, the answers to your two follow-up questions are clear.
