ASA rules
The only time a fielder may use the orange side of the bag for a put-out is if the throw to the fielder is coming from foul territory of the 1st base bag or if the fielder has retrieved the ball from foul territory so in situation #1 the runner would be safe
Sit#2 As Glen said if the umpire does not deemed you did something intentional no call shall be made BUT under some circumstances I believing not moving maybe ruled intentional. This would be a judgement call by the ump.
Sit#3 If the move looks intentional "dead ball" runner is out. I have seen and called this play several times, so I believe must vetern umps will catch you on this
