A superseding indictment does not "reset" the clock. The speedy trial clock begins with the first indictment, regardless of whether there is a subsequent or superseding indictment. See e.g., U.S. v Black (2nd Cir. 2019), or US v. Young (11th Cir. 2008, available at https://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-11th-circuit/1425888.html). The Young opinion is a good primer on the history of the speedy trial case law.
The following U.S. Circuits have ruled similarly to the 2nd and 11th Circuits on speedy trial rights and superseding indictments: D.C, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 8th, 9th.

That's correct, double-jeopardy applies at the jurisdictional level (meaning, double-jeopardy from a state court trial wouldn't prevent a trial at the federal level, or vice versa), so charges in the Bahamas would not trigger double-jeopardy protection against charges filed in the U.S. at the state or federal levels.
