With regards to USA and NFHS, the only difference I'm aware of is the one you mentioned regarding pitcher's possession. In USA, the pitcher possesses the ball when she has it in her hand or in her glove. She won't be in possession if she places the ball between her legs, under her arm, etc. NFHS still considers this possession.

I can't speak for USSSA since I don't umpire for that organization.
