Ted,
1. No, this would not be considered a visit unless the umpire judged that he unduly delayed the start of the half-inning.
2. Technically, the pitcher may wear a different color sock on each foot/leg as long as all of his teammates do the same. As to whether you require they all wear the (let's say) green sock on the left leg & the yellow on the right, or whether it is more properly dictated by the "handedness" of the player, I can't find an authoritative ruling, so I don't know.
