Is a first baseman standing on the foul line in fair territory?
There is no such rule Official baseball rule book section 4.03: When the ball is put in play at the start of, or during a game, all fielders other than the catcher shall be on fair territory. However the N.A.P.B.L. Umpires Manual also states: Do not insist on the first baseman playing with both feet in fair territory unless the offensive team protest. Then enforce it equally for both teams.

They can but it would just be dumb. Actually, the first baseman cannot stand in foul territory. The only defensive player allowed to lineup not in fair territory is the catcher, who must take his position behind home plate in the "catcher's box", which is technically in four territory.

Is there an actual rule in MLB that states that the first baseman must contact first base either with his foot or can first base be touched with his hand as well?
There is no such rule. On a force play, which is what a throw to first base to get a runner that hit a ground ball is, the player must have full possession of the ball and touch the base with any part of his body. That could be the foot, the hand, the glove, the knee ... any part of the body. The first baseman could dive on the base and cover it with his belly if he wanted although, obviously, that would probably result in him getting spiked in the middle of the back. There is no rule stating the foot must contact the base for a runner to be called out.

If a fielder has one foot in fair territory and one in foul territory and drops a fly ball is it fair or foul?
The "fairness" of the ball depends on the rules in that particular stadium. In the 2004 playoffs a ball hit the catwalk in Houston in fair territory and was caught in fair territory, but was ruled foul, because of the rules at minute maid park. On the other hand in Minnesota, a ball atriking the catwalk is automatically fair whether it lands in fair territory or not.
