1) Under the ambidextrous pitcher / batter rules, there's a clause (or an interp) that the pitcher can "declare" by placing the glove on one hand or the other.
2) Sure. Lots of two year olds first step "goofy footed" when they are learning to throw.
You're not going to see it in MLB, so maybe it's just one of the omissions in OBR.
