On the line is considered a legal starting position. In your situation, the batter is doing nothing wrong. As JM said, if he were in an illegal position, you should have him move. If you notice an illegal starting position, allow the pitcher to pitch, and the batter hits the ball, and then you call him out for being out of the box, you have opened a nasty can of worms for yourself.

As for the back of the batters box, generally you will let them get away with it (in reason) unless the other team says something about it, at which point you will enfore it strictly for both teams.
