First, you need to let us know which ruleset you are using, as it often matters.
Regarding ASA, and the lookback rule... no - a BR on a walk is allowed to round first base regardless of the position of the pitcher. In fact, said BR may run all the way home, if pitcher does nothing to stop here.
What the BR CANNOT do is stop and reverse course more than once, or stop and do nothing, while the ball is in the circle.
LBR always allows a runner to stop, decide, and act. It doesn't allow a runner to stop, decide, and STOP (or reverse) again, and it doesn't allow a runner to simply stop and do nothing.
The pitcher's circle is not a stop button for the defense to press.
