What does pitching out of the stretch mean?
When runners are on base, pitchers generally tend to pitch out of the stretch, meaning that they shorten the time it takes to prepare and throw a pitch. This is done to prevent base runners from stealing base. When there are no runners on base, pitchers tend to pitch out of the wind up.

Yes, the runner would go back to 1st base if the batter fouls off the pitch.
