No.

Yes, as long as it is from the bare hand.

Rule 6, Section 3
D. The pitcher must deliver the ball toward home plate on the first forward swing of the pitching arm past the hip with an underhand motion....

That is a restriction, not a requirement
Quote:
F. The pitcher must not pitch the ball behind the back or through the legs.

I would think that means "pitched" or thrown between the legs. Since I doubt the ball is actually being released from behind the leg in your situation, it's legal as far as I'm concerned.
