Play continues until either one runner proceeds to another base or an out is made. Conversely if both runners are tagged the runner who occupied the base first is safe, unless there was a force on the play.

The runner who first legally occupied the base shall be entitled to it, unless

forced to advance. The other runner may be put out by being touched with the ball.

I hear this argument often and most parents think the rule is if 2 runners are on the same base then one of them is out no matter what (unless it is their runners).

With runners on 2nd and 3rd if the batter gets hit by a pitch can the runner on 3rd advance home?

No. When a batter is hit by a pitch, the ball is dead and no runners may advance. However, if the bases were loaded, then all runners are forced to advance and the runner from third would score.

If 1 person is heading towards home plate and then they get chased back to third and if they see that the person from second base is heading towards third base is it okay for the both of them to be on?

Nope, two runners can't occupy the same base. Generally, if there are two runners on the same base, the preceding runner (the runner in front; in this case, the one who was running toward home) is entitled to the base, and the following runner (the one coming from second) can be tagged out.
