If, however, he stops driving and picks up his dribble, looking for someone to pass to, you start the count where you suspended it.

Really?

yes, it's a suspended count, not terminated. It doesn't terminate unless he shoots or gets out of the lane.

Is a drop-step move, or an up and under, etc... considered a drive to the basket?

For example, player in the lane for about 2.5 seconds, catches the ball, dribbles to the middle and drop-steps to the baseline and shoots, taking about 1 second to complete this move. Should there be a three seconds violation before the shot?

The word suspended is not in here but:

NCAA Rule 9 Section 9. Three-Second Rule
Art. 2. Allowance shall be made for a player who, having been in the three-second lane for less than three seconds, dribbles or moves in immediately to try for field goal.
a. The player shall not pass the ball instead of trying for goal.
