Isn't that implying we should pre-game any possible case where we would ask for help?

Answer to question #1-NO.
For two reasons, first, it's not a deviation as the SUP Manual instructs the PU to do that very thing. Second, check swings and bunt/slap sitchs procedures are its own topic on the pre-game checklist. Pre-game is the time to review the sitch and make sure the crew is all on the same page with this sitch in terms of responsibilities.
As the Manual points out, "going for help on a slap or bunt attempt on strike two with the ball going foul is a very specific situation."

Answer to question #2-As a separate topic from check swings and slap/bunts...YES.
Going for help-how, when, when required is its own topic on the pre-game checklist.
