Intentional walk / hit batsman

Hypothetical (probably silly) situation (11-12 yr old OBR): 1 out, very fast runner on 2nd. Team decides to intentionally walk right handed batter. Trying to prevent r2 from stealing 3rd, after conferring with F2, pitcher pitches ball behind the batter in an attempt to create a much shorter throw to 3rd. F2 stays completely in the catchers box until ball release meeting the requirements of 8.05(L) and 4.03(A). The batter instinctly steps away from the plate upon seeing the pitch coming his direction, r2 breaks toward 3rd, , and the batter is hit by the pitch outside the batters box.
What do you call? I'm thinking: Dead ball, Batter out per 6.06 (C), Runner returns to 2nd.
Are there any circumstances where the runner could also be called out?
Is there any rule prohibiting the pitcher from throwing behind the batter as long as he clearly has no intent of hitting the batter?
