Because it's a right-handed batter, that is a fair ball.

Seriously, though, what you describe is a fair ball, no matter if the batter is right or left handed.

A bounding ball (one that has bounced) in fair territory that goes directly over first or third base, and then lands in foul territory is a fair ball.

It is a fair ball when any portion of the ball bounds over the front edge of first/third base, where the base meets the foul/fair edge of the foul line. If the ball bounds into foul territory before passing these points, that would be a foul ball.
