Technically they are not allowed to be outside the circle, but every on deck player usually does so. I have personally seen Derek Jeter, almost behind home-plate .near the stands to get a better look at the pitches. The umpires will allow this until it interferes with the flow of the game, then they will not allow it anymore.

I doubt, however, that you will ever see a scheduled player not warm up and swing before his at-bat.

When you are in the on deck circle, it means you are next to be at bat. Therefore you need to be ready by having your helmet on and if you need/want batting gloves they should be on too.

How long does a batter have when the umpire says Batter up?
The MLB Rule says:6.02(a): The batter shall take his position in the batter's box promptly when it is his time at bat.6.02(c): If the batter refuses to take his position in the batter's box during his time at bat, the umpire shall order the pitcher to pitch, and shall call "Strike" on each such pitch.So there's no rule that says how long the batter has to step into the batter's box, only that he do it "promptly." But as an umpire, I can tell you the umpire will not put up with much messing around on the batter's part. If he tells the batter to step in, and he doesn't, the batter will get penalized.
