No need to assign an object to the variable when you overwrite
it immediatly afterwards:

> this.submitForm();

Should this have been "submitStep2"?

WHen the first argument to setTimeout is a string, then it
is parsed and executed as a program in the global context.
Even if it wasn't, "submitStep2" is not a variable in
any scope.

> How can the submitForm function's setTimeout call submitStep2?

Try:
                 var self = this;
                 setTimeout(function(){self.submitStep2();}, 20);
