1. What is the standard line width as used in USA major league games.. is it 2, 3, 4 etc inches and

2. For the dimensions given in the book, are they to the inside, outside or centre of the line that is marked???

The lines are just lines. The chalk used to mark them is:

For a batter's or catcher's box - inside the lines.

For the foul lines - completely on the fair side.

There is no specified width to the chalk marks. Generally a 2" line looks better on a small field and a 4" on a large field.
