Yes. It would be considered a foul tip not a foul ball. Foul tips are treated as if the hitter never even touched it. In this case a runner may advance at his/her own risk.
In baseball "advance the runner" is a term used to say get a runner on base to move forward to another base.
In MLB, yes. According to MLB rules, a foul tip is a ball that is tipped by the batter that goes straight back into the catcher's mitt. It is considered a swinging strike and not a foul ball.
There is no free base or "advancing" by rule based on this play. Runner tries to advance at his or her own discretion if they take up.
In baseball, a runner can be tagged out while trying to advance to a base if the fielder with the ball touches the runner with the ball or glove before the runner reaches the base. The runner must also be tagged out if they are not on a base when a fielder touches the base with the ball in their possession.
it would depend on how the ball was caught.
If there is an infield fly rule with a runner on first only, the batter is automatically out, regardless of whether the ball is caught or dropped by the fielder. The runner on first can advance at their own risk after the ball is caught or lands.

A runner must be tagged to be Out if he is not forced to advance as a result of the batter putting the ball into play.
Runners can advance in any case even with 2 outs. The batter is different. If first base is occupied with less than 2 outs then the batter cannot advance but everyone else can... It would be more of a steal than drop strike though. If there are 2 outs and he strikes out on a dropped strike, the batter is allowed to advance with a runner already occupying first. In any other case you can go whenever you please
As long as he has tagged up he can advance the whole way to home.
Yes
In baseball, base stealing rules allow a runner to advance to the next base while the pitcher is delivering the ball to the batter. The runner must start from a base before the pitcher begins their motion, and they can only advance to the next base if they reach it before the ball is caught by the fielder. If the runner is tagged out before reaching the base, they are called out. There are specific rules and strategies for successful base stealing, including timing the pitcher's delivery and reading the catcher's throw.
