This is expected behaviour, as the Python REPL is for running Python code, not for running command line executables.
"pip" and "python" don't work in the Python REPL for the same reason that attempting to run "dir", "cd" or "systeminfo" doesn't work - they're shell commands rather than Python code.
Cheers, Nick.

With IPython:
!pip install -U pip
Or, with Python:
subprocess.check_call(['./pip', 'install']) subprocess.check_call('pip install', shell=True) #*
