runner on first , batter hit the runner with ball, ball comes off runner and the first basemen playing behind the runner fields the ball and touches first who is out and who is not?

Runner is out if off the base when hit, dead ball, BR gets 1st if not third out.

Depends on the association, assuming the runner was on the base when they were hit.

ASA: dead ball, no one's out, batter-runner is awarded first base, runners are advanced if forced.

NSA: Same as ASA.

USSSA: live ball, batter-runner is out, R1 is safe (unless they were tagged before F3 tagged the base to retire the BR).

Now if the runner was OFF of the base when they were hit with the batted ball, then we have interference. Dead ball, R1 is out.

Is that USSSA for true for both SP and FP?

USSSA's FP rulebook is structured very differently from their SP rulebook. My initial look-through would say yes, SP and FP differ in their handling of a runner struck by a batted ball while on base. SP keeps the ball live, while FP kills it.

However, I'll need someone more experienced with USSSA FP than I to make that call.

USSSA FP rule in this case is very similar to ASA. The one you quoted must be from the SP rule book.
