OBR balk

Just wanted to clarify things for myself, I don't normally work OBR/NCAA OBR rule games but I am going to alot this summer (american legion, men's league)

Balks in FED are dead balls right away, no pitch, no play, etc

In OBR the ball still stays alive correct?
Sit.: Runner on, Pitcher balks, I say "That's a balk" and point towards pitcher, pitcher delivers pitch and batter hits safely.

The ball is in play and batter and runners are entitled for one base correct, anything after that they are liable to be put out



It's simple for a balk on a play to a base, the runner can't be tagged "out", and once the play is "dead" than the runners advance

Can they advance on an overthrown ball more than the one their entitled to, they get the free pass to the advancement base.

Sorry if these seem like simple thing

Any other tips or suggestions or rules, or whatever that may help me understand this correctly I'll greatly appreciate it.

Thanks
