That seems to be a contradiction, but when you are holding the pitcher, that is all you are doing, holding the pitcher. Since "holding" a pitcher is means by which an umpire prevents a quick pitch, the batter should be prepared or you wouldn't let her pitch, right?

2) while unlikely, could you have a LBR violation or base runner leaving a bag early prior to the pitch?

Can't say without seeing it, but I would not discount the possibility.
OTOH, ger rid of the LBR and that issue would disappear.
