No. Runner is part of the field, therefor the ball is in play and the runner is out.

Is the ball alive or dead when hitting a runner in fair territory?
It depends. Is the ball being thrown or is it hit. If it's hit off the bat and hits a base runner it's a dead ball and the runner is out if the ball has not passed a fielder. If the ball has already passed a fielder then the ball is live and the runner is not out. It is as if it never happened. If it hits the runner when it is thrown it is perceived as if it never hit the runner.
If the base runner gets hit with the grounded ball do the remaining base runners remain where they are?
The base runner is out that got hit with the ball as long as he is in fair territory. At this point the ball is considered dead and the runners would go to the base they should be at. Example: Runners at 1st and 2nd. Guy on 2nd running toward 3rd after ball is hit, he is hit. He is out. Runner at 1st is awarded 2nd, batter is awarded 1st and the ball is dead.
If a batter hits a pitch and the ball hits a runner how is it scored?

No it is a dead ball
Is it a fielder's choice if the batted ball hits the advancing runner which results in the batter getting 1st base on the dead ball?
Just to be clear the runner that got hit is out. As for the batter, it would be scorers discretion. If the scorekeeper believes he would have made it on base anyways ( perhaps the ball was hit to the gap or he was within feet of the base by the time the player would have gotten to the ball) then it could be scored as an infield hit
A runner is hit by the ball in the back running to first is the ball dead?
Only if it is ruled interference by the umpire -- dead ball and runner is out, no other runners advance.... if no interference is called, this is a live ball
If the ball hits home plate then hits batter are you out?
If the ground ball is foul, you are not out. If the ground ball is fair, you are out unless you are touching your base (however, if you are touching your base and in the umpire's judgment you intentionally interfered, you are out). Rule 7.08(f) states: Any runner is out when "he is touched by a fair ball in fair territory before the ball has touched or passed an infielder. The ball is dead and no runner may score, nor runners advance, except runners forced to advance. EXCEPTION: If a runner is touching his base when touched by an Infield Fly, he is not out, although the batter is out."
When a foul ball is hit does the base runner have to touch the base?
Yes. He must tag the base.
Is a caught ball a hit even if the runner gets on base?
If a batted ball is caught in the air, the batter is out and would not be on base. It would not be a "hit."
