Yes, you always have an out on this play, but with less than 2 outs you nail RUNNER and with 2 outs you nail BATTER.

The BI occured when the batter hit the ball. Resulting action from that point on is null. Enforce the out on the batter. Return the runner.

If the runner never actually broke for home, wouldn't this just be a balk.
The pitcher made a pitching motion while not on the rubber.
Maybe it was HTBT depending on what move he actually made, but I'm guessing it looked enough like a pitching motion that the batter took a swing.

If that's what the umpire has, then it's a balk. The "assumption" in the OP is that the throwing motion was sufficiently different from the pitching motion.
