Not exactly. "Bean" means throw to the head. I just meant throw at the runner.

Possible, but from where F2 was standing and facing (she was in fair territory, facing 1st base, so she as at a wrong angle to throw to 2nd), it seemed unlikely she was ready to throw to 2nd should the runner make a try.

By "draw" the call, I mean to throw at the runner to call attention to the runner being out of the running lane rather than trying to make a legitimate play.
