If I am holding the ball after two steps and my opponent touches it, can I bounce it and move. Plus is there such thing as a zero step

Only if you lose control of the ball after your opponent touches it. You can't dribble just because your opponent touched the ball.

There is, I guess. It's considered to be when a player is "gathering the ball". Like Hardin or Curry when they create space on a dribble and take a step backward while "gathering the ball". I think it's pretty difficult to see that in fast motion, so a lot of refs probably give it to Hardin and Curry.

Thanks for the thorough explanations, I appreciate it.
