To quickly answer your Q's:
If you start with a 1-1 count, and the "free foul, or 4 strike" rule (league rule) that means that when a batter has 2 strikes(called or foul) on him, a hit foul ball is "free" meaning he's not out, still bats, but another foul is an automatic out.
In ASA, part of being a legal pitch--- while the pitcher is touching the plate, is between 6 ft and 12 ft from the ground.
If you are batting more than 10, you can free substitute on defense.
Batting order---any player can be subbed for, and then re-enter once, but they have to go back in the batting order that they were in before.
What was said above is correct, you really need a rulebook to cover the other 99.9%...
