Thank you guys. One last thing on question one. There was a girl who was standing approx 5-6 feet away from the plate while bing pitched to. Away being off the plate, not being in front of or behind. Is there a penalty for that, such as an automatic strike or something?

Direct the batter to enter the box and hold the pitch until the batter does enter the box. If after 10 seconds or so, the batter has made no move to enter the box after being directed to do so by PU, call a strike.
