No. I know this conflicts with my answer to the first question.
Don't understand the question. Are you asking what stops the pitcher from pitching through the stop sign?
Yes, if the delay is due to the batter not being ready. (I know this violates my answer to the first question, at least technically.)
No.
No rule cites for any of the above.
