I would not take a 2-pitch pitcher with the first overall pick unless he had max pitching ratings on whatever your scale is, no.
If the guy looks like this guy, I would think about it. This player was selected 2nd overall in a hyper-competitive online league.

Would HS kid be more likely to develop a 3rd pitch than a College kid?

In my experience, I would assume so, solely because they have more time to reach the majors and a higher ceiling than most college players. More time in the minors = more time to potentially develop that 3rd pitch. Again, if you're banking on looking for these kind of players, I would shoot for those with good Work Ethic and Intelligence.
