The batter being hit by a throw would not be out (providing he did not intentionally interfere).

In the OP the batter would be out for batting a throw that was an attempt to retire a runner.

Would it be concidered a rat move if I tried to get the batter to hit the ball in this situation from my pitcher?

To do that might mean (or be interpreted) that your F1 made a pitching motion while not on the rubber. That's a whole different rule.
