What is pitch time?
In baseball, the time of pitch is that instant when the pitcher has begun his pitching motion and, by the rules, has committed himself to throwing the pitch. This instant thus occurs before the pitcher actually releases the ball. Once a pitcher commits himself to throwing a pitch, it is illegal for him to return to his set. If that happens, he is charged with a balk, and any baserunners are allowed to advance a base. A baserunner's time-of-pitch base is the base which he has last legally reached at the time of pitch.

If a pitcher starts from stretch and comes to the set position runner steals second base and touches it pitcher delivers pitch and it's fouled off does runner go back to first base?
Yes, the runner would go back to 1st base if the batter fouls off the pitch.
Can a pitcher be relieved after a pitch but before the batter is either out or places the ball in play?
Yes. Either the pitcher or the batter may be substituted for at any point in the at-bat. Only if it is not the first hitter that pitcher is facing, if it is the first batter he faces, he must pitch the entire at-bat unless injured, then he may be removed from the game
Do you have to pitch if you toe the rubber?
"Toe the rubber" is not an official baseball term, so I'm going to guess that you're using this term to mean when the pitcher assumes the windup position. If so, the answer to your question is "No." Once the pitcher assumes the windup position (or the set position), he/she has three options: 1) pitch; 2) throw to a base (in an attempt to pick off a runner); 3) step off the pitcher's plate (rubber). Rule 8.01 covers this and is quoted in the Discussion section for this question.
What is a sound with no set pattern and no definite pitch?

When a pitcher is in the set position and his left foot crosses the pitching rubber with a runner on second base does he have to throw to second?
Yes. When there is one or more runners on base, it is mandatory for the pitcher to hold his arms to his side before entering his Setup Stance. When entering Setup Stance, he must hold the baseball with both hands and come to a complete stop before throwing to any base, including pitching. However, if the runner wanted to be stupid and decided to run before the pitcher completes his Setup, he can throw the ball.
Is there a set number of batters a pitcher can hit?
NO!! As long as the coach wants to leave the pitcher in he can hit everybody.I hit 9 in a game once.
How long does pitcher have to throw ball?
Th pitcher has 27 seconds to throw the ball after he comes set. Failure to do so will result in a balk.
Is it a balk when a pitcher separates his hands once he has taken the rubber even if he has not come set?
It depends. Umpires are governed by whether or not it is intent to deceive a runner. If there is no intent to deceive a runner, it will probably not be called a balk.
