How do you score a swinging third strike and passed ball when runner reaches safely?
It is scored as a strike out for the pitcher (as far as the pitcher's stats) but not an out against the team at bat. The base runner's advance to 1st is scored as a passed ball (error) on the cather.
If a runner crosses the plate before the third out is called does the run score.?
The batter will need to reach 1st base safely (credited with reaching safely by hit or error) before any runs count on a play where a 3rd out is recorded. If the batter and all runners required to run advance to the next base safely, any player crossing the plate before the out will count. If all players required to run DO NOT safely advance then no runs will count even if they cross the plate before the out is recorded (much like many rules in baseball there are several scenerios, those need to be discussed on the discussion page)
Why don't passed balls count as errors?
If the play is scored as a passed ball it is an error. It should only be scored a passed ball/wild pitch if a runner advances, or on the third strike the batter reaches first base safely. The scoring is sometimes a judgment call. Some statisticians are more strict on calling it a passed ball or wild pitch.

The number of strikeouts in an inning of baseball?
There can be an infinite number of strikeouts in one inning. Usually and most of the time there are three but there are times it can be 4 or more. If the catcher drops a third strike and the batter reaches first base safely, that is still recorded as a strikeout for the pitcher.
If a baserunner scores as a result of a dropped third strike does the batter get credit for a run batted in?
The batter would not be given an RBI, it would be scored a run on a passed ball. If it was a passed ball it would be an unearned run, if it was a wild pitch then it would be an earned run. However, neither pitchers or catchers are given errors on wild pitches or passed balls
What is a run?
A play in which the batter makes it safely around all bases and back to home plate without stopping.
If a batter reaches 1st base as the result of an error but gets thrown out trying to reach 2nd on the same play is the error negated?
