Many coaches used to beckon officials to their bench areas, and did not start yelling unless they were ignored.
A quick jog across the court took care of that.
However, as shown above, that sitch is now mostly moot.

Did they accompany the beckon with a "Here, Fido...."?

The lead doesn't need to (and shouldn't, imo) whistle to bring in the subs. Just indicate to the trail that there are subs waiting. It's the same as in 3-person.

Nope.
You're the first.

Now it will a quick jog to the backcourt. Nothing has changed except the direction the official would have to jog.

I was taught it a signal to make sure all people on the floor, and table know how many shots.
