If the batter was swinging it is a strike...if the batter was not swinging, then they are deemed to have been "hit by pitch" and are awarded first base.

No. MLB Rule 6.03 states: "The batter's legal position shall be with both feet within the batter's box. APPROVED RULING: The lines defining the box are within the batter's box." Since home plate is not within the batter's box, touching the plate with a foot while swinging would not be legal.
A forward 'k' is using in baseball scoring to mean a batter struck out swinging. a backward 'k' is used to mean a batter struck out looking.
The "K" is placed backwards in cases where the batter strikes out looking.
In softball, the batter can be walked, strikeout, or they can get a hit. Walks are caused by the batter accumulating 4 balls. A ball is a pitch thrown outside of the strike zone. A strike is a pitch thrown inside the strike zone. A batter can get a strike by either swinging and missing the ball, or they can get a strike from not swinging at a strike within the strike zone.

It varies from batter to batter. A lot say it is the fastball high and in. I would add that yes it will vary depending on the batter's swinging tendencies. The best pitch will be one that should be a strike. Thus if the batter thinks the ball is not in his 'zone' and lets it go he's stuck 'looking' . The best strikes of course are ones that catch only a piece of the plate.
