in little league you have to wait for the ball to cross home plate but every level after little league you can steal at any time you want to no matter who has the ball or where the pitcher is or what he is doing.

If a pitcher properly steps off the rubber and throws to his short stop to tag out a runner leading off second base is this considered a balk?
No
How many balk calls are there?
There is only one call for a balk. When a pitcher is in the stretch and a runner or runners are on base, the pitcher must pause before throwing to homeplate. There can also be a balk called on the pitcher if he makes a move to throw out someone at first base, but doesn't actually throw the ball. (No fake throws to first allowed!) The last reason for a balk to be called is if a pitcher begins to move his front leg towards homeplate, but does not throw the ball to home. (Or simply pitch to the batter). A balk results in baserunners advancing one base.
If the pitcher throws ball four and the catcher throws to 2nd before the runner reaches is he out?
No, it is simply ball four and the runner is safe and the batter is awarded first base on a base on balls.
Pitcher fields ball on the 1st baseline runner runs into pitcher - pitcher throws ball to first is the runner safe or out?
The runner is probably out for interference by running into a fielder, if not, he is out if the throw to first beat the runner and the first baseman, or whom ever is covering first, had his foot on the bag when he received the ball.

I believe he throws it back to the Pitcher.
When a pitcher throws to a base to keep a runner from stealing are those throws added to his total game pitch count?
No, only pitches to home plate count towards the pitch count.
What a catcher gives a pitcher?
A catcher tells the pitcher what kinds of pitches to throw. Also, if the pitcher throws a bad pitch, the catcher can prevent the keep the ball close to prevent any base runner advancements.
If a catcher is credited with a putout on a strikeout does the pitcher get an assist as most stat programs do not give assists in this instance?
The pitcher does not get an assist unless the batter strikes out and the ball bounces to the pitcher, who throws the ball to the catcher, who tags out the runner.
