Correct

If Batter #4 was out then Batter #3 is declared out (only one out though not two outs) and batter #5 is now up.

Correct, for the BOO. #4 is also out, which would be the second out.

This seems confusing to me, I would think Batter #4 should be up again regardless of the result of her at bat, but the way I read ASA 7.2.D.2.Exception that places #5 up next.

Why? It isn't the defense's fault the wrong batter hit into an out. ASA may be the only one with this exception, but it makes all the sense in the world.
