Can the DH in HS baseball play a defensive position later in the game?

No. The DH cannot play a defensive position unless he is brought in for the person for whom he is DH-ing. This is a full substitution and negates the DH status. Should the coach re-enter the original player, he must bat in place of the original DH, and the original DH may not re-enter the game.

Can a pitcher be put into a position on the field after pitching to pitch later in the game?
It depends on the level of play. Some allow that if the starting pitcher is removed from the mound, but put in a defensive position, he can then come back to pitch later in the game, but only once an inning.

On defense, a courtesy runner can sub for any position they want the next half inning thy play (if the coach wants) or just come out of the game. They can't, however, sub in again as a courtesy runner, and if taken out of the game from pinch running (not DH or playing a defensive position) they can't come back into the game.

What is the most important position on the baseball field and why?
Arguably the pitcher is the most important defensive player because if, in a perfect world, they do not let anyone even hit the ball, they are doing all of the defensive work. The other players, besides the catcher, wouldn't even have to be there. Of course this is just theoretical and even in a perfect game, the pitcher heavily relies on the entire team behind (or in front, in terms of the catcher) him/her.
