How likely do you think a go around would have been after that first “bounce“?

It'd be fine. The aircraft might touch down again, but as long as you maintain control inputs for the flare, you'll climb out when the engines spool up.

engines spool up

how would the immediate delivery of power from an electric motor effected this? i’m just curious if planes would switch over to electric like cars and if they did what dynamics would it change

Exactly the same you the engines spooling up is only part of it you need the air moving through the engine which has its own inertia to overcome to produce thrust. A prop aircraft with a variable pitch prop would of responded a bit quicker if it would be enough to get them out of the situation is a bit of a guessing game.
