To answer the original question, with a runner on 3B (assuming FP), the BU should be to the left of F6 from the PU's point of view (D position, I believe, if there is one), and, as noted, with a runner on 2B, the BU should be to the right of F6 (C position).
To answer the later question, I'm not really sure of a reason why the BU would be over on the shortstop side. I can only think of two time times off hand that the BU would make a call at 3B: with multiple runners and a play at the plate, the BU would take the trail runners to third, and with no runners on the BU could take the batter-runner all the way to third. I can't think of any others, though.
