If the pitcher's feint to third is in response to the runner heading toward third, this is not a problem or a balk.
If the runner merely had a good lead from second, and the pitcher feints to the unoccupied base, then balk him.
I would consider, with the runner moving, the feint to third and the throw to second to be a single play on the runner.
