Is it obligatory for the congregant to stand up and then say the takbir for the prostration of recitation (sujud at-tilawah) if he bowed, thinking it was the bowing of the prayer (rukuʽ), then it became clear to him that it was a prostration of recitation after following his imam?

The Takbir (utterance of 'Allahu Akbar') you performed for the prostration of recitation (Sujud al-Tilawah) is sufficient, and your prayer is valid. You are not required to return and stand up to perform the prostration of recitation.
