a. Common sense application. Safety supersedes speed - prompt the player and then resume the clock when he and the batter are ready. I assume the pitcher is since you started the clock.
b. Described in the CCA on page 23, play 12. The clock restarts when the pitcher and batter are both ready.
c. The clock should never have started since the pitcher is not in possession of the ball while on the mound. Start a new 20 seconds.
d. Unless it is a common sense pause for tying a shoe, swatting a bug, wiping sweat or cleaning glasses the clock should not have stopped. Since it was paused we can assume one of these things happened, right? Resume when he and the batter are ready after prompting.

From the sounds of this play, R2 is not being played on when the OBS occurs. The throw was from F1 to F5, and F6 was guilty of the OBS. That looks like Type 2 to me.
