The mile put on isn't a big thing. Car could have had .1 mile to next mile. But you need to run engine to check oil pressure. That is performed first by taking off oil filter and putting a block and gage on it. If pressure is ok then you check it at ops.
Not sure of their results . None of us are. Could be anything. So stressing on running car or the mile change to me isn't a big issue.
No you do not run an engine to see if the pump is building pressure. You pull the plugs, disable the fuel and ignition and turn the engine over with just the starter. If it did not register in a few revolutions, stop and pull the motor down to get to the pump. Starting a motor with suspected oil issues is foolish. Even worse it is a pretty widely known that there are oil pump problems and they did it anyway.
