That extra line creates a "running box". When a batter puts the ball in play, while running to first base he must run in that box until reaching first. If not, he may be called for interferrence should a fielder, usually the catcher, throw to first and hit the batter/runner if he is outside the box in fair or foul territory.

Baserunning in a simple definition would be the way a softball or baseball player literally runs around the bases. Different techniques and stances are used in "base running"
Is the home plate umpire forced to ask his base umpires if the batter swung the bat?
No it is up to the plate umpire if he wants assistance from the base umpire. Even if you request it he can deny that request and make the call himself.
If there are fewer than two outs, yes. If there are two outs, both the runner on third and the batter must touch their respective bases for the run to count.
Lead runner has the right to the bag as long as they are not being forced ahead by occupants of other bases. If the runner on 3rd was not being forced they can return to the bag and the runner from 2nd must return to 2nd. The runner returning to second if tagged is out and unless the runner returning to 3rd is tagged while off the base then they are safe. If both runner attempt to occupy the base at the same time and fielder tags both runners while they occupy the base the runner from 2nd is out unless they are being forced ahead then the runner from 3rd is out.
The squeeze play is when there is a runner on third base, and she steals home on a pitch, the batters job is to bunt the ball toward the base whos fielder is the furthest back in order to have the runner score. The trick really is to just make contact with the ball because is you miss your runner wil more then likely be out
Why are pitchers usually bad batters?
Because pitchers are trained to pitch, coaches don't waste their resources training them to bat as well. There are a limited number of people for a certain position and pitchers are very valuable. Everyone else on the team is expected to bat well, but the pitcher really only has to worry about pitching a good game.

How far is the pitcher from home plate in a MLB game?
In MLB, the pitchers mound to the rear point of home plate is sixty feet, six inches (18.4m). In Little League baseball, the mound is 46 feet away, while on Pony fields the distance is 54 feet.
The Major League pitchers' rubber is 60 feet 6 inches away from home plate. It all depends on how long a pitcher's stride is to determine how far the pitcher will actually throw from.
Tim Lincecum is one of the shortest pitchers in the MLB and has one of the longest strides. Ironic.
