Once I have printed the book and distilled to PDF, I delete pages 4 and 2 so the TOC appears on the back side of the Title Page, even though it started out as a right page.

Try this:
 
Title page -- Double-sided; Start on Right; Delete empty pages; Page numbering starts at i
TOC -- Double-sided; Start on *Next available*; Make page count even; Page numbering continues from previous
Chapter 1 -- Double-sided; Start on Right; Make page count even; Page numbering starts at 1 
 
Note that the "Start on next available" option is only available when setting the pagination properties from the book window, because that option has no meaning for a single, isolated file.
 
The only thing that *might* be a gotcha is the page count setting for the TOC. It *might* be necessary to set that file to "delete empty" rather than "make even". For the last 5 years, I've been using corporate templates that are single-sided only, but my recollection from my last job is that the setup I detailed is the one that works.
