I called time and was about to put her back to first for making her initial move back to 1B, but partner said that was leagal - she was looking for the ball position. I wasn't happy about it but I wasn't going to argue with him. Any ideas?

The ball was in the pitcher's hands in the circle WHEN?

If the ball was back in the circle prior to the runner deviating her path toward 1B, that is a LBR violation and the runner should have been declared out.
