There isn't a forward motion rule in no limit, probably because many players arrange their chips in front of their stacks before deciding what to do - this could be easily confused with forward motion.

This is related to the key difference; with no forward motion in NL the NL players need to learn to wait until the player in front of them has completed their action.

This is not a string raise. The player verbally indicated raise so he can go back to his stack to count out the appropriate amount of checks. If he had said nothing, it would have been a string raise and he could have only called

Youre wrong. Its not that black and white. If the player says raise before he brings chips out, its very clear raise. But in this case he said raise after he had brought chips out. Verbal action is binding, but it cant change the action that has happend before. I say string-raise.
