The harassing player does not see the pick and collides with the player. A foul is called.

1. The clock would not have started in this scenario. True?
2. Is this a non-shooting "player control foul," or would the fouled player get free throws?
3. If there were a timeout after the made shot, would the ball automatically come in at center court, thus spoiling the scenario?

You are not clear about who the foul is on, but the wording of #2 makes it sound like an illegal screen. I think you are asking about team control and implying that an illegal screen was set.

Of course, none of that would not change the answers for #1 and #2 anyway and #3 does not involve a foul, so:
1. True - the clock does not start in your scenario
2. shooting foul if in the bonus, the fouled player gets FTs
3. calling a timeout will not affect the throw-in position - throw-in remains at the baseline with running the baseline privileges
