When youre hitting you can only swap out a pitcher for a pinch hitter. The pinch hitter is then considered as the pitcher. You have to wait until the half inning is over to make a pitching change and obviously the pinch hitter doesnt then become the pitcher of record.
So basically the game allows illegal substitutions. It allows you to place a pinch hitter into the lineup before the player pinch hit for comes to bat.

Nope. In a double switch, the manager is required to go out and tell the ump about it right then, while on offense, or the lineup switch isn't allowed. And if you have a great inning and get around to the point at which you have told the ump the new pitcher is now occupying, it will be that pitcher for the following inning who is to come to bat, not the hitter he was to replace. The ump has already marked it on the scorecard.
And he still would not be the pitcher of record.
