You are talking about getting the batter back at bat in the beginning of you post, but that is not possible according to your own quote at the bottom.

My understanding is that its the managers choice what to do, but the batter will have completed his at bat at that moment.

So in this case the manager has one of two choices.
Number 1. Accept the out and let the run score or
Number 2. Batter gets first, Runner from first will get second and the runner on third will stay there.

Speaking ASA

I believe Patrick is correct. CO is a delayed dead ball and is in effect unless ALL runners advance one base and the BR attains first safely. In the OP, this did not happen.

The manager then has the option of accepting the play (including all the runs and outs which occured during the play) or the enforcement of the CO which, as stated by rule, only allows runners who are forced to advance.

However, I smell a possible rule change proposal here.
