if the batter is in bunting position(with the bat over the plate) he needs to pull the bat back. Otherwise strike. And if he has 2 strikes and fouls off a bunt its considered strike three.

When bunting in Little League does the batter have to remove the bat from the strike zone or is this considered offered at or attempt?
In little league like the majors when bunting and you miss the pitch it is a strike. It depends on the umpire; if he thinks the batter offered at the pitch, he will call the strike. Simply holding the bat in the strike zone is not offering at the pitch unless the umpire decides that. It is a safer bet to teach your batters to pull the bat out of the strike zone if they decide to not bunt at the pitch.

The strike zone varies from batter to batter. The width of the strike zone is the width of home plate. The height is from the batter's chest (usually the letters) down to the batter's knees.

The ball passing through the strike zone. The batter making an attempt to hit the ball by swinging or making a bunt offer at the pitch.

The last way is seldom called but once a pitcher steps on the rubber and is ready to pitch the batter has 10 seconds to get in the batters box and be ready to hit if not a strike can be called.

How did the term strike in baseball come from?
The original game of baseball had the batter stand with his foot against a peg in the ground and the pitcher then throw the ball at the batter.

I stand to be corrected on the last point.
