NFHS - The coach does not have a choice of the penalty or the play unless the batter does not hit the ball (fair or foul) or otherwise become a base runner.

Quote:
6-2-2 EXCEPTION: If the pitcher completes the delivery of the ball to the batter and the batter hits the ball fair or foul, or becomes a base runner, the coach of the team at bat shall have the option of the result of the play or the penalty for an illegal pitch. A delayed dead ball will be signaled by the umpire by extending the left arm horizontally.

Ok,
Then on a hit and run (swing and miss), baserunner takes off for second and draws a bad throw form catcher, baserunner advances to third.

Options for the offence:
*Take the results and keep runner on third.
*Take the ball on batter and put runner back on second.

Did the batter become a batter runner in your example?
NO.

No choice, send the runner back to second and award a ball.
