If the answer to (1) is “video only”, then they made the wrong call. But if the replay had audio, they may have gotten the call right.
If the answer to (2) is “synched”, then it is what it is. But if the horn is controlled manually, then the home team will always have a chance to do some “cooking” in situations like this.

To answer -
1) Video only. You never see the refs put on headphones for sound. Therefore, if it is permissible to do a video review for a shot clock violation - and it is - the only reason to do so would be to look for video (shot clock) verification. There is no audio during a video review.
2. Automatically synced
I just think that due to poor camera and video work, the refs had no video of the shooter and shot clock simultaneously. Certainly, nothing that was shown on TV. If they did, based on Jablonski's video, the shot would obviously have not counted.
