1) yes
2) no
3) in contact
In FED, the ball is immediately dead upon the call of "Balk," which this is because you cannot hesitate the throw to first from the rubber.
In NCAA and OBR, the ball is not dead, and if the pitcher balks and throws the ball into DBT, the runner is awarded 2nd base for that reason. Since all runners advance at least one base, the balk is ignored.
If, however, the pitcher had stepped back off the rubber before the hesitating throw, there was no balk, and the runners get 2 bases from the time of the throw.
