As to the count, this is just what I do.
General case:
I give the first count for a batter after 3 pitches, 2-1. 1-2, or 3-0
I give the count the first time there may be a change of status on the next pitch (3-x or x-2)
I give the count every 2 pitches after that
Special cases:
I will give a 1-1 count in a bunt situation where there may be a question in the coach's or batter's mind whether the count is 1-1 or 0-2
I will give the count after a long delay
I will signal the count (no verbal unless I was otherwise giving the count anyway) to my partner after a steal attempt
