What is the distance from first base to third base?

Depends on how far apart the bases are on the basepaths. It's a right triangle so the sum of the squares of the distance between first and second and from second to third should equal the square of the distance from first to third. if the bases are about 90 feet apart the distance is about 127.3 feet. Of Course, if you follow the basepaths the distance is 180 feet. And you thought you'd never use geometry in real life!

If a batter who has bunted the ball in fair territory and is running to 1st base now intentionally trying to block the throw to the first baseman from the catcher and is hit by the ball on the throw?

This is umpire's discretion, but usually if the runner is in the runner's lane (the two parallel lines starting half-way up the foul line between home plate and first base) the runner will not be called out. However, if in the umpire's judgment the runner is in the runner's lane but is deliberately trying to interfere with the throw, the runner can be called out for interference.
