Is batter obligated to attempt to get out of the way of the throw regardless if in box or not?

No, and for that matter, the batter should make a point of staying in the batter's box. If this happens and the catcher still has a hard time with the throw, shame on the catcher, or her coach, for not knowing what to do.
