Block doesn't count as a touch. No violation, unless you're playing with rules against guys blocking.

2. A hitter spikes the ball down that hits the floor, then after the ball hits the floor the hitter makes contact with the net. Does the ball contacting the floor first end play so the net contact is a mute point?
Yes, once the ball hits the floor, and anything after that is moot.

3. A back row player comes in front of the 10' line and jumps to spike a ball. The player is very short and her jump only gets her an inch or two above the floor. She hits the ball while it is below the net. Is this a back row attack?
If the ball is not entirely above the net, the attack is always legal.

4. Team A hit's the ball 3 times on their sid of the net hit 3 put's the ball close to the net but it is obviously not going to go over the net. A player from team B seeing the ball close to the net reaches over the net and spikes it to the floor. Is these a violation on team B for reaching over the net or does play stand fault on team A for not getting the ball over?
There is no fault on team A until the ball is contacted a 4th time or it hits the floor. If neither of this has happened, the reaching over violation should be called as in any other time the ball is live.

I am talking to the league rep. about adopting some set of Official rules so there will at least be a set of rules to fall back on. Then his local rules can overide if he wants something different.
Always a smart idea...
