it is where if the catcher drops the third strike pitched then the batter can run to first base.
HOpe this helps :)
no
yes, but he can be thrown out if the ball beats him to first after the dropped 3rd strike.

Absolutely but only if the batter safely reaches first base. A dropped (actually uncaught) third strike is a live ball.
No.
Dropped Thrid Strike
The ball is still on play on a dropped-third strike and a runner can attempt to reach first base as long as a runner doesn't occupy first base prior to the dropped pitch.
It has to be caught it-the-air first. "Dropped Third Strike" is a misleading term. It should be called the "Uncaught Third Strike". So, if the ball touches the dirt before reaching the catcher, it is indeed a dropped third strike.
Yes.
whenever the third strike is dropped
