Can a manager play in a official baseball game?
Unless it was back when the Cubs last won the World Series, 1908, when a player WAS the manager, no. But it is possible still today. If every person who could possibly manage was ejected, it could happen. Cubs shortstop Ernie Banks did it. A number of coaches, and the manager where ejected, so he became manager since he was a team leader. But if Ozzie Guillen wanted to play in a game for his Miami Marlins, he could not since he is not on the roster of active team players.

For MLB what are the rules for breaking ties in standings?
It depends. If the tie is between two teams fighting for one playoff spot, then they play a one-game playoff (in the AL). In the NL, they used to do three-game playoff, but I think that has changed since the advent of the wild card - I believe it is now just one game but I'm not 100% on that. The playoff game counts as a regular-season game.
However, if they're tied but both teams would advance to the postseason - say, they were tied for the lead in the NL west, but their record would also earn them the wild card slot - then head-to-head record is used as the tiebreaker to determine who is seeded as a division champ and who is seeded as a wild card.
