#3 yes, in NFHS if the batter becomes a batter runner, then they always have an option.
#1, I don't think it's only semantics. A couple months ago we had a discussion where it was pointed out that to violate the leaving early rule one just has to break contact but to violate the LBR one has to actually leave the base. Making it for example legal to lose contact while cleaning one's cleats.
