He dribbles, picked up his dribble,established his right foot as pivot, jump off his pivot foot, lands on both foot, shoots. In this case he can no longer move any feet. Isn't it illegal to land on the pivot foot?

And someone commented if it's a pro hop where he ends his dribble in the air and lands on both feet he can choose a pivot foot which sounds ok because he only took 2 steps after ending the dribble.
didn't watch the video, but:

1) Yes, it's normally illegal to jump off the pivot foot and land on the pivot foot. The jump stop you mention is an exception to that, but it can only be don in certain circumstances.

2) No, the player took NO STEPS after ending the dribble.

Note that the terms you use (jump stop and pro hop) are not mentioned in the NFHS rules book -- they are "fan speak." (To be fair, I think jump stop is mentioned in the NCAA book, but it has both of the definitions above.)
