Steve,
Hate to be "picky" here but....

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.

...is not quite right. In addition to any runner(s) advancing one base safely, the batter must also reach 1B safely in order for the balk to be disregarded. Since on a pick-off throw by a pitcher the batter cannot become a runner (let alone reach 1B safely), there is no circumstance where a called balk on an F1's pick-off throw is "disregarded".
Sorry, I couldn't resist.
Otherwise, quite right about immediate dead in FED & maybe not in OBR/NCAA.
