That is absolutely correct. It is possible to have a dance, such as in the
traditional Waltz Country Dance, where there is a roll away without a half
shashay. The rolling person progresses and the non roller stays in place. I
don't think I've ever seen a contra dance where this is the case, however.

"Also, I have intuited that in the move "roll away with a half sashay,"
the
half sashay refers to the non-rolling individual
stepping sideways into
the
original place of the rolling individual. Can anyone confirm this?
