Perhaps I am highly cynical, but even if a rescue could have been accomplished that way, I do not believe they would have sacrificed the space station "just" to save one crew on the shuttle....
There are huge egos and selfish interests involved here, and you can imagine the uproar which would have followed if they brought down the ISS on what was speculation at the time about the survivability of Columbia II on reentry.
