2. Right-handed batter bunts. She has one foot in fair territory and the other still in the box when the ball bounces up and hits her in the chest in fair territory.

In ASA, no. A batted ball that makes contact with a batter while they are still in the box (and one foot counts) results in a foul ball. The R/S on this one says (paraphrasing), "if it doubt on whether or not they're still in the box, call it foul."

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!
Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
