I would have stuck to my guns and not allowed the do-over.

Correct the Scorebook, but not inform a HC of the number of TOs he has left. Only inform him when he as used his last TO.

They gave the foul to the wrong player in the book, not I said a number and they told me I had it wrong.

As for the timeouts, I don't normally tell coaches they have one time out left. I only tell them when they have none left. The only reason I did this time because the coaches had been asking the scorers' table how many time outs they had left. In this case an extra 3 each, I rectified it and informed them they only had 1 left of 5 , not 4 of 8.

And as for the do over, my partner is a seasoned varsity official, and let's all admit to ourselves, you can't advance in this profession unless someone puts in a good word for you to the committee or whatever, so the less enemies there are for me the better.
