Starting pitcher, takes place of 1stbase who then pitches. Starting pitcher comes back to pitch and pitcher goes back to first. Starting pitcher is replaced again by same 1st baseman. Is that legal, doesn't starting pitcher, now having come to pitch twice have to finish the game.

As long as players are just switching positions on the field, in ASA a pitcher can come back any number of times to pitch in a game, if it is in same inning they do not get any warm ups. In FED and Utrip the pitcher may only return once per inning to pitch, and no warm ups. Not sure about what the rule In NCAA is.
