There is no difference whether the count is announced or not. It is the responsibility of both benches to know the count, and for that matter all game situations, at all times. In the case of the OP, the runner who advanced to second did so at her own risk, and in jeopardy of being put out. The problem was, the defense wasn't aware of the situation.

Nope. The runner could legally advance, again in jeopardy of being thrown out, and the batter would come back to complete her turn at bat. Again, the onus is on both the offense and defense to know the game situation.
