Third Degree Sexual Assault is, in shortest terms, rape. It's defined as sexual intercourse without the victim's consent. The term sexual intercouse is, at least in WI, described as vaginal or anal penetration, or oral-vaginal/anal contact.

Third-degree offenses are less serious than first degree offenses. A third-degree sexual assault probably means a miscellaneous type of sexual assault - perhaps one that did not involve penetration or injury.

That will depend entirely on the laws in your state or country. In most cases the 1st degree is more serious than 2nd degree and has a higher penalty. Read the law for your jurisdiction to understand the law.

Is there any way to get out of a 3rd degree assault charge if you hit someone first?

Usually if the police have you nailed to the wall, there isn't any way to get out of an assault charge. However, some states have "provokation" as a defense to prosecution. What that means is that if a normal, average, "reasonable man" would have been so provoked by what happened to you that they too would have hit first, you might be able to have the charge reduced to a lesser offense (or even dropped).
